London, with room to wander
A painting, an object, a path through the park. Three free places to give a London day a little direction without filling every hour.
Culture London
Heywood Hill
A Mayfair bookshop offers a literary pause on the streets around Curzon Street.
- Location
- 10 Curzon Street, London W1J 5HH
A place worth knowing
Heywood Hill combines new, old and antiquarian books behind its Curzon Street shopfront. Established in 1936, the independent bookseller also builds personal reading subscriptions and libraries, with tailored recommendations central to its identity.
Bring a subject, an author or simply time to browse. It makes a focused literary detour in Mayfair, particularly if you enjoy asking a bookseller for a next read rather than arriving with a fixed title.

Free in London: what your visit includes
A free collection, a ticketed exhibition and a market with no entry fee are different kinds of outing. Plan for the one you actually want.
