Artwords Bookshop

73 Rivington St, London EC2A 3AY, UK

Two warnings up front: TIME (you can ‘literally’ spend hours here ; ) and EXCESS LUGGAGE (on your fight home). Artwords, founded by the charming and extremely knowledgeable Ben Hillwood–Harris back in 2001, is one of my all-time favorite destinations in London – an incredibly well curated bookstore, that specializes in design, fashion, architecture, fine art, and photography. It’s a bit like drinking out of a fire hose for me to spend an afternoon there, discovering new unusual books and magazines. Of course I always walk out with way too many books, although...I wonder if there’s such a thing. If you’re exploring Shoreditch, it’s a good idea to make Artwords your last stop. I’ve learned my lesson, lugging my treasures all over the place. >>>A huge thank you to The Trafalgar St. James and Curio Collection for a great time in London. @CurioCollection @TrafalgarSW1 #DiscoverWhatsInside #CurioCollection #BeCurious
