Waterstones offers a truly delightful experience for book lovers. The sheer scale of the store is impressive, with a remarkable selection across every genre imaginable. Finding something new to read is easy, thanks to the thoughtfully arranged displays and the helpful staff. I appreciate the dedication to providing a comfortable browsing environment, making it a pleasurable place to spend an afternoon searching for your next read.

The atmosphere is welcoming and conducive to exploration; a haven for those who appreciate a physical bookstore. They maintain a good range of gifts, stationery and other items relating to books, too. The presence of a cafe, provides a place to relax and recharge while immersed in the world of literature, creating a lovely experience for all ages.

Me and my family came here the other day and it was great. When we walked in it was tidy and neat and the staff were a pleasure. They have 5 floors and a great cafe. They have toilets and all you need to do is ask the staff for the code and a massive variety of books.

Omg, this bookstore was like heaven! Living in the Czech Republic, I don’t often get such a huge variety of English books, so for me it was incredible. I could easily have spent the whole day there just browsing. I even bought a game in English and a few books, and loved reading a few pages of everything that caught my eye. The selection is fantastic, with so many different genres and titles. If I’d had more time, I would have happily sat in their café and enjoyed the entire day surrounded by books. I’m super happy I found this place!

Books are great. The cafe needs a good clean. The walls have bumps and scratches. The light fixtures have a heavy cover of dust.

As a librarian, I love books of any kind! For me, it’s museums and archives for old books, and Waterstones for new ones, and Waterstones never fails to impress and amaze me with its vast range of literature and nonfiction resources.

I had a wonderful experience at Waterstones thanks to Jon Hill. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, always smiling, and went out of his way to assist everyone in the store. His positive attitude and excellent service truly made my visit special. Staff like Jon make all the difference — highly recommended!
