this is the most beautiful thing I've seen today 😍 thank you so much for this video 💗
mahdi gasmi I'm so glad you liked it 😬 I've been so excited to share it!!!
coffee shops inside book stores are my favorite thing in life
Would be better if it was a bar serving single malt whisky.

I'm British I drink tea, tea ,cakes and books! Fabulous!
I thought I caught a remark of yours confessing that you're not into used books. I like them because besides the original content, each book has a story, a history, a karma. I like the marginal notes, the dedications, sometimes I find odd pieces between the pages, a slip of paper with a note, a little greeting card or postcard or photo. Old books have a personal vibe, energy, life. I wish books could speak to tell me their life stories.
I also like that I don't feel too precious about bending the cover or something.
I love it too.....the smell of used books....is ,I don't know....I love it ...
I dunno were you get your used books but mine just have tea stains and bended pages
Any cash found
As long as no piss on the books
That Waterstones' bookshop is in front of my former university (UCL) and it is indeed amazing. They also have secondhand books for £1 and £2 outside.
Also, if there is somebody around here who likes to buy secondhand books, there is this old library near Wimbledon Station (District line) that is called Copperfield Books. There is not one spot without a book in that place. It may seem hard to find what you are looking for, but the guy there knows exactly where the book you want is. And they are open on Sundays too!
Ahh I really wanna visit these bookshops now! Also omg you look so professional walking around with this microphone 😂 I love it. Great video!
Isadora de Paula SO LEGIT. I gave it my all for you, haha!
Hello, you are very emotional about talking about books. I can have a school
As a Waterstones employee, this makes my nerdy bookseller heart fill to the brim with happiness 💛 Thanks for spreading the joy of bookshops, Ariel
Did you go to Waterstones in Piccadilly the huge one? It's amazing!!! You'll never want to leave.
Selfridges basment floor has a book section with some really nice editions.
Enjoy London!
Ariel try also Standfords bookshop in Covent Garden! It's a largest travel bookshop in the world and it has been here for over 150 years :-)
I've been in London a week ago, and I fell in love with Foyles at the Tottenham Court road. Where I live, we only have small 1 floor bookshops and when I stepped into Foyles I was very amazed because it's so huge! And it has a café? THERE ARE BOOKSHOPS THAT HAVE CAFÉS? I just wanna live in that bookstore forever.
Loved this! Also, eat, sweat, play is such a great book, I'm glad you are enjoying it :)
Rhianna Lucy It's fantastic! I can't wait to finish it and share my love in a video!
Yay, I'm excited to watch it :)
Thank you for this wonderful tour!!
Love this!
Estée Lalonde Thanks, lady!! 😍
@@ArielBissett I like your glasses
Your enthusiasm is infectious. This was an exquisitely done book vlog!!! I enjoyed every place you visited. I hope to see more of these videos in the future. Gracias 🇨🇺
this gave me so much happiness and warmth. your joy is so contagious. thank you for sharing. lovely, as always.
Beautiful bookshops!!! Your videos are always so amazing!
absolutely loved this video! i'm going to london on thursday and now i'm even more pumped. definitely added foyles and hatchard's to my list of places to shop/explore.
I just love your videos so much. The joy and passion you have for all things books just inspires me. Keep being wonderful 💕
Thank you so much for this beautiful bookish video! If I ever make it to London again these 4 bookstores are definitely on my destination list!
this is beautiful. absolutely beautiful.
Emma Krueger Thank you so much!!
There is nothing more amazing than watching someone walk round book shops...absolutely brilliant xx thank you
This is definitely going to be a video I come back every once in a while. You should do more of these exploring / traveling type of videos Ariel. Both in the UK and in Canada. Your energy is so bright and you make it fun.
Love your Bookshop tour! I have to visit them all if/when I go to London!
This video just made my day - my weekend - my month! Thank you for sharing this with us, it's astonishing
I'm going to Foyles, hatchards and Waterstones next Saturday!!!! I'm so excited!
What an a amazing video, I love it! The last time I was in London I did the same and spent hours going to different book stores. I loved Foyles❤️ And I also love the small book stores in Nothing Hill
can you show us your favorite coffee shops, restaurants and cute places to go in london!! love this video!!
This is so wonderful! I'm actually visiting London for the first time in about a week, so I'm really excited to make these bookstores a part of my trip.
This is so nice to watch, especially during lockdown, when I simply miss going to my fav bookshops... I'll certainly do a London bookshop tour when this is all over
Even though my heart breaks a little that I might not be able to visit those shops, this video patches it up for sure. Thanks Ariel for taking us on a bookadventure!!! ❤
Loved this video!! Bookshops are just such a wonderful place ❤
You are so much fun to watch, you have such a great personality! Thank you for making this video :)
Next time you visit London, check out the Wellcome Library/Reading room! The building itself (i.e. the exhibitions, bookshop and books you can generally read there) is more geared towards the medical field, but the Reading Room is free to visit and it's just an amazing place to sit, read and chill for a while.
"... which one you would want to visit."
All of them.
So envious. London is right at the top of my bucket list destinations. Those shops look so great! Love bookstores.
I love this video and can't wait for the haul!💕
I love the bookshops in London, they are so magical
Your enthusiasm in this video is so cute! Makes me really want to go to London and explore these shops!
Thank you for making this!
I love the atmosphere in the Waterstones library, my favourite I think!
Thank you, I loved this!
Already watched this video multiple times, I love the feeling of going on a tour of London bookshops! Thanks Ariel :)
Those stairs in the last store.....that was my favorite store!!! What a great video!
Love these take me along type vids
Your laugh is amazing! Love this video so much!
This was such an informative well done video. I hope you do more like it!
Thank you for the recommendations! I'm actually going to visit London for the first time in a week or so, and I just can't wait! I'd love to visit the Waterstones you mentionned and Hatchards!
Such a great video!! 💗 The bookstores are so cool! The filming was great 👍
Love this video! The last shop looks amazing.
this is such a nice video. definitely adding those bookshops to my bucket list
wow!!! What an experience!
I’ll be going to London for the first time in February 2019. Had to come back and rewatch this for shops to add to my list. Woo!
Yes, the Waterstones at Gower street is awesome. I love how they put loads of old Penguin books in carts out front. It is vastly different from any other bookstore I've been to in the UK. There is a vinyl record store downstairs, as well as a stationary store.
I loved this video! I hope you do more videos like this.
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! This was such a great video!!! Do more of these bookshop tours, please?
All of the shops are so beautiful!
Foyles looks amazing!!
Best thing I've seen today, bookshops in London. Thank you. ❤️😊
Didn't think there were such enormous bookshops somewhere. Love it. WANT IT!
Your enthusiasm is lovely to see shining through this video ! Hatchards seems very lovely to visit (and also to buy all the books from) - the others as well. Now craving to go to the bookshop ! thanks Ariel :)
omg Ariel, this video was so beautiful! I loved the mic, the themes, the shops ❤️ , the tips. Please, make more videos like this!
Thanks for the video. Next time I go to London I'll def try to go to some (or all) of these.
Just Amazing.
Foyles looks AMAZING !!!
I'm moving back to London after spending a lovely year living in Oxford and I was feeling really sad about having to go back to London - but now you've reminded me about all the fab bookshops there I feel much happier about it!
London is killing it the stunning bookshops! Totally wish I could visit. This video was amazing!
I loved this! I was just in Barnes and Nobles the other day taking pictures. But these places are amazing!
Those bookshops are amazing! I would love to visit all of them.
This video gave me such pleasure. And Hatcherts, wow.. i literally stumbled into it when i visited London 18 years ago.
Really made this interesting by your enthusiastic way of presentation.
I am going to London in March and I knew that I needed to find some good bookstores before going. When I searched it here on TH-cam, your video popped up and I knew that whatever you showed me would be great and that I would love. I am so excited to go and check out your suggestions in person. They all look so beautiful on camera but I know they will love even better in person.
Going to London with my friend in about a month and we were searching for bookshops to go to! So thank you so much for this video 😊
That Penguin Room in Waterstones 😍 😍 😍
This was lovely.
Thanks for this video!
This was such a wondrous idea! Hopefully one day I get to discover all the magic of London bookshops.
Ariel, what delightful content! Of course I have an old great love of the printed word, and so I was destined to enjoy your story. Please keep visiting bookstores and reading. Best regards, John, Kenly, NC
I love these videos! The bookshops are one of the most important reasons I want to visit London someday!
this was a lovely end to my day, thank you
this video made me giggle with delight! Thanks for making it
💜Jessica
This was so lovely.
Loved it.
I love this video!!! I live in Greater London and have never been to these stores. I adore books and hope to some day go there. I’m so happy!!!!
ooh Ariel, you enlighten my day with these beautiful bookshops and your sense of humor. Very nice video, thanks ;)
Fantastic video! Whenever I visit London bookstores are always my destination! This was done so artistically! You have expanded my list of must-visit places in London!
Angela Walton-Raji I'm so glad you liked it!!
Great. Love this
your videos make me so hype to travel
This video made me very unusually, which shouldn't be a shock, happy. Love this video! Who doesn't love bookstores?!
This video gives me heartache. I miss being in London so badly and you showed me the places I always was. I spent lots of time at that Waterstones and the one in Angel. As well as Foyles in Soho.
Beautiful!!! I'm studying abroad in Cambridge next semester so I defiantly need to check these out when I visit there! ❤️🇬🇧
Perfect timing! I'm going to London at the end of June and I plan to get all the books!
This was great! I definitely added all of these to my list of places I would like to go to one day
Hatchards is so beautiful! I love that I live in London, definitely going during the summer after exams to read!
i love this so much.
omg I'm definitely going to come back to this vid if I ever visit London, all these places look so nice!!
I adore this video! Your enthusiasm is so infectious.
I was lucky enough to visit London last year, and while I didn't have a ton of time, I was still able to stop by Hatchard's and Waterstones at Picadilly. I fell in love! Even with the major retailers in the states (like Barnes & Noble, etc), I don't think I've been in a multi-story bookshop. Also, I absolutely loved how the bookshops in London are organized! The flow feels so natural, and everything is cozy. I really like the way the displays seemed to have unique topics, in addition to the more structured "Fiction/Non-Fiction/etc" sections.
Also, I completely understand the fear of used books/things. When I was really young, I felt the same way. It was like an overwhelming sense of dread, even though I understood the historical value and importance. I don't know what changed (hence the irrational part of fears), but it doesn't bother me anymore. Still, I totally get where you're coming from and I appreciate that you still promote used books as better for the environment, etc.
Waterstones Gower Street is my favorite bookshop in London! I lived on that same road when I studied abroad there last year, so watching this video felt a lot like going home. Also I realized I have visited Hatchards, but I never knew the name of it! Such a quirky and wonderful building too.
Such a cute video. Thank you, Ariel!😊
I went to Hatchards this afternoon! It's definitely my favorite bookshop in London!
Thanks for the tour Ariel! I've jotted a few of them down as places to go on my upcoming trip to London :)
I had been to several Waterstones while I was studying in the UK and I loved that they were each a bit different, as you mentioned. If I get the chance to go to London again, I would definitely want to visit Foyles - it's like a book mall! Love this video, Ariel!
This is literally our, we book nerds, paradise in life !! ❤❤
