Reviews

  • Asir Ajmal

The most amazing bookstore for all things Chinese. Since I am into learning Chinese, this is my most favorite hangout. It has bilingual editions of books on Chinese literature, mythology, contemporary fiction and ancient Chinese poetry. It also has graded readers by the number of Chinese words known. They also carry books on Chinese HSK official exams as well as past papers. The basement section has cultural stuff such as books on Kung Fu and Tai Chi as well as Chinese cooking etc. The best place for sinophiles such as me.

Great products in an independent bookshop specialising in Chinese language books and crafts. The prices are reasonable, and it's good to support a local independent bookshop, and it is a delight to explore. If you are learning Chinese, there are a whole load of textbooks, flash cards, exercise books, brushes and ink, and even books for reading practice. There are a whole load of other categories of books too.

I was looking for chinese books to read to my 4 year old daughter. This Shop has a great Mix of translated European Classics (Pinocchio, Wizard of Oz) and Classic Chinese Stories (Monkey King etc.). I walked 45 minutes to get there, and ot was definitely worth it!

  • Enrico Annaloro

Authentic Chinese bookshop. Fairly small, 2 floors. Floor 0 has some books, chinese language learning books (HSK and more). Floor -1 has art, history, etc.. The shop also has painting supplies (ink, brushes, paper and more).

  • Sam Yee

Amazing selection of all different kinds of Chinese books, in Chinese and English, from Chinese language learning to Chinese history! Looking forward to coming back here again!

  • Sungmin Song

It is full of books on Chinese nationalism and socialism. It is a bookstore far from liberalism in England. It's terrifying to have a bookstore like this in London.

  • Etienne F

Lovely little Chinese bookstore. I was looking for Chinese painting instruction booklets and found them to have a nice range. The staff were friendly and helpful.

  • Jianghui Yuan

A small selection but helpful, a bit on the expensive side. I went to look for some Chinese classics but couldn't find what I wanted.
