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.

Home to Roost & other Peckings

Following their recent visit to the shop, we have a limited number of copies of 'Home to Roost' signed not only by the author herself, but also by Alan Bennett (who wrote the Preface).

Please contact the shop by e-mail (link below) or telephone (020-7629 0647) to reserve a copy.

'Wigs on the Green' by Nancy Mitford

Do you have a copy of the first edition of 'Wigs on the Green', with the dust-wrapper? We are hoping to find the image of this, Nancy Mitford's third novel first published in 1934, for our archive and would be delighted to hear from anyone who can help in the quest. Please e-mail us [link below] or telephone the shop on +44(0)20-7629 0647.

'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 exhibition 'South & North: Paintings from Two Hemispheres' [23-26 June The Gallery, Shepherd Market], we asked Emma to selet 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 see the books Emma has chosen, or buy a copy of 'More Good Work by Anon' (£4), please call in at the shop in June, where six of Emma's paintings are on display. Alternatively, do contact the shop, to order your copy or to obtain more information on the exhibition.

Please note that we will also be open late on both evenings of the exhibition's private views: Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th June.
