Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street is housed in an Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries and a stained-glass window beneath a skylight. It is famous for arranging its travel section by country, with guidebooks, novels, history and food writing side by side. Its canvas tote bags have become a London souvenir.
