Situated in the heart of Mayfair, Heywood Hill is one of the leading bookshops of London, trusted by readers and collectors throughout the English-speaking world. Our staff are dedicated bibliophiles who understand the importance of matching the right book with the right person. We offer a range of tailored literary services, all marked by old-fashioned courtesy and good humour.
A Year In Books
We are all finding ways to get through the pandemic. Many are rediscovering the pleasures of reading. Our legendary subscription service is fully operational and remains the perfect gift for readers of all ages, nationalities and sensibilities. We find out someone's reading preferences and then each month our talented booksellers choose a book to suit that individual subscriber's taste.
Everyday Rococo
We were delighted to welcome Rosalind Savill to the shop to sign copies of her new book 'Everyday Rococo: Madame de Pompadour and Sèvres Porcelain’. The book chronicles the beautiful Vincennes/ Sèvres porcelain collection of Louis XV’s official mistress, following the monthly purchases she made from 1745 to 1764. With stunning illustrations throughout, it offers fascinating insights into her daily life, as well as the key role she played in 18th century French art and politics. (£200)
Her Majesty The Queen
In celebration of Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee we have put together a bundle including two brilliant titles, Robert Hardman's 'Queen of Our Times' and Joanna Lumley's 'A Queen for All Seasons'.
We hope you enjoy these wonderful biographies which offer compelling and unique portraits of a leader in an ever-changing world.

Drawing on our unique knowledge of new, out-of-print and antiquarian books we bring together the right books in the right condition to match any brief.
