Happy Saturday everyone and I’ve been wandering London’s bookshops again. I don’t think I’ve been to Word on the Water since before the pandemic so it was lovely to go back there.
Word on the Water is a barge on Regent’s Canal, just behind Kings Cross and you can really feel it moving with the water. It’s just lovely.
It has a stove. And lots of comfy spots to sit and peruse the books, or just think about the gentle rocking as the ducks float by outside the window.
I would describe the selection as carefully curated and eclectic. I go to a lot of bookshops and found a lot things in there that I hadn’t seen before to look and and chose from.
There’s a lovely children’s and YA section too and don’t panic there is a section at the front with some of the new release hardbacks as well and some boxes of books on the roof outside too.
It’s a little bit of a trek out of my usual stomping grounds but it was definitely worth the trip.
Have a lovely weekend.
