Judd Books

There are plenty of places to buy new books in London, and lots of cheap secondhand options too – but Judd is a gem when it comes to brand-new bargains. The tables in its main room are stacked with remainered art and photography books, exhibition catalogues, and popular fiction both recent and classic, all heavily marked down – I’ve snagged books here for an 80 percent discount. The rest of the shop is devoted to secondhand copies, with art, philosophy and social sciences heavily represented alongside fiction, poetry and drama.
