Antiquarian Booksellers' Association

Welcome to Heywood Hill

One of 50 reasons to love Britain (Sunday Telegraph)

Situated in the heart of Mayfair, London, we can offer you a unique range of services.

We sell new, old and antiquarian books as well as producing catalogues on numerous themes. Emphasis is on literature, history, architecture, biography and travel as well as keeping a well-stocked children's department.

Heywood Hill can find you books in most categories from the really obscure to the very latest and sends books across the world each day to all those who love reading as much as we do. We hope you enjoy browsing our site but most of all look forward to your visit.

Plum Idol

Thank you to everyone who took part in 'Plum Idol' - the response was tremendous. Now that the votes have been counted, we can confirm that the most popular PG Wodehouse quote, as delivered by Stanley Johnson, is:
“As for Gussie Fink-Nottle, many an experienced undertaker would have been deceived by his appearance and started embalming him on sight.”

Plum Pie - The Everyman Wodehouse Competition

Thank you to everyone who entered our Everyman Wodehouse competition - we had a terrific response from Wodehouse enthusiasts.

'More Work by Anon' by Emma Tennant

At Heywood Hill we admire Emma Tennant for her passion for books, as much as her wondrous ability as an artist. She's a genuine reader and a loyal friend of our shop. So this year, to mark her June exhibition 'South & North: Paintings from Two Hemispheres', we asked Emma to select her favourite books.

'More Good Work by Anon' is the marvellous result. With typical style, Emma has produced a hugely enjoyable essay which will delight book-lovers and her legion of friends and fans alike.

If you would like to buy a copy of 'More Good Work by Anon' (£4), please contact the shop by telephone 020-7629 0647 or e-mail (see link below).
