    Large collection of design magazines, rare motion design DVDs, t-shirts, books and stuff. If you're here on a Thursday or Friday don't miss the old magazine stall at Leather Lane Market.

    Awesome selection of magazines. It's really hard to not spend all your money here.

    Pretty much the same as the one in Covent Garden, which is to say not so great. If you're looking for more independant publishers head to Koening Book in Hyde Park or Charing Cross Rd.

    Probably the best design-led book shop in London. Individual. Independent. Interesting.

    Quirky tshirts and graphic design books. I had to leave before I spent lots of money. But will be back.

    Apparently they are not paying their suppliers (search the offscreen magazine if you want to know more). Avoid.

    I go, I look, I smell the paper and then I buy on Amazon for half the price.
