Berkelouw Books - Paddington

Oxford Street has undergone more changes in recent years than Shane Warne’s face, but Berkelouw has remained a fixture. The three-level emporium next door to Verona Cinemas has been keeping bookish types happy for over two decades. Downstairs you'll find new books, magazines, curios and gifts. The next two levels hold a sizeable collection of secondhand titles covering fiction, art, culture and history. The second floor is where you'll also find the store's licensed café that looks out over Oxford Street; it's the perfect place to hunker down and watch the world go by with a coffee or a glass of wine.
