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
The Atlantis Bookshop
An esoteric bookshop gives a Bloomsbury browsing session a specialised direction.
- Location
- 49a Museum Street, London WC1A 1LY
A place worth knowing
The Atlantis Bookshop gives a Bloomsbury book hunt an esoteric direction. Its selection covers subjects such as alchemy, tarot, witchcraft and the history of magic, spanning new, rare and antiquarian books.
Browse around a particular tradition or writer, or use the shop’s talks and events as an introduction to an unfamiliar subject. The specialist focus is the reason to make this a destination within a wider literary walk.

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.
