Hi there,
Spring is on us once again, and this year during the spring / summer season I am planning to go to London on a small holiday break. Could you please indicate which are the best military book shops (and second hand military books shops) in the London area? Preferably in and around the normal site seeing circuits as I will have the gang with me and I will not be able spend much time looking for the next shop.
Cumps,

Motorbooks, St Martin’s Court. Smack in the middle of a bunch of sites, inc. Leicester Sq, Traf Sq, Oxford St etc.
And from there head round the corner to Henry Pordes 58-60 Charing Cross Road. www.henrypordesbooks.com
He has a small but interesting aviation/military history section which also includes more Jane’s books than I’ve seen anywhere else, mostly recent. He has examples on his website to give an idea of expected prices.

My first stop in London. Highly recommended.
A great place, and their car branch is fun too(they even had an esoteric book that had my actual car in it).
PS. If anybody knows of a place that offers discout Air Britain titles it would be welcome.

The other alternative would be The Aviation Bookshop, which is now in Tonbridge Wells, and not in any way ‘close’ to central London, but it’s certainly at a sightseeing venue.
