The Story
Thirty thousand books across three floors of a Paddington terrace on Oxford Street — pull one off the shelf, order the beef cheek pappardelle or a house-made chai, and pay for it on the way out if you can't put it down. The café runs all-day breakfast and is fully licensed. One of ten most beautiful book cafés in the world, per the 2025 Libraries Awards.
