This bookshop is a real treasure trove for anyone interested in politics, policy and political history.

Appropriately located in Westminster, just five minutes' walk from Parliament and surrounded by Government offices, this specialist bookshop covers everything connected with politics, current affairs and political history.

It's coverage is not just confined to the UK, and it also includes books about business, leadership, political philosophy, and of course there's a generous biography section, and even relevant fiction gets a look-in. The shop also incorporates the Methuen Bookshop, owned by the long-established publishing house of the same name. They hold book launches, signings and other events here.

Staff are knowledgeable and helpful, as you might expect in such a specialist shop. And you never know - you might just bump into a well-known MP or two, while you're there...
