What to expect
Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street is the flagship of the small London chain and one of the city's most beautiful shops. Built in 1910, the long room is lined with oak galleries beneath a graceful glass skylight. It is a setting that draws photographers as much as readers. It's best known for its travel section, where guidebooks, fiction, history and maps are grouped by country, so you can browse everything about a destination in one place. Knowledgeable booksellers and a well-chosen general range make it a lovely browse and an easy highlight of a wander around Marylebone.
