Waterstones London - Tottenham Court Road

Books, cocktails and events...

Just two minutes' walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station, Waterstones TCR is a unique bookshop in the heart of central London. With bookshelves nestled within a brutalist interior, you will find plenty of spaces to read, work or socialise in a setting like no other.

Down in the basement, Lucky Jim's Bar serves artisan espresso coffee, hand-made sandwiches & small plates, and a range of sweet & savoury treats throughout the day. By night, swap coffee for cocktails and enjoy one of our literarily delicious house creations, with a daily happy hour and an ample supply of beers & wines to boot.

Our inclusive events programme represents the diverse interests of our customers, featuring a superb line up of the most exciting contemporary authors and poets. Through our events we strive to champion feminism, LGBTQ+ and marginalised voices.

Most of all, we pride ourselves on bookseller knowledge and enthusiasm. Whether it's contemporary fiction, non-fiction, poetry or a forgotten gem, our booksellers love to talk about their passion: a good read.
