Hidden London: Our Tenant, a Literary Paradise

Step through an unassuming door on Cecil Court, and you’re immediately transported to a world of literary magic. As featured in a recent article in The Evening Standard’s Hidden London feature, Goldsboro Books, one of our valued tenants, is described as a “creaky literary Eden.”

Founded in 1999 by booksellers David Headley and Daniel Gedeon, this unique bookshop is a true hidden gem. It’s not just a place to buy books; it’s a pilgrimage for collectors and bibliophiles from all over the country and beyond. The shop specializes in valuable, signed first editions, making it a treasure trove for anyone seeking a rare find. The aroma of old wood, ink, and paper fills the air, adding to the enchanting, old-world atmosphere.

The article highlights the exceptional nature of Goldsboro Books, from its knowledgeable staff to its vast collection, which includes ancient first editions by literary giants like Ian Fleming and Agatha Christie. The shop’s location on Cecil Court, a historic London street often believed to have inspired Diagon Alley, only adds to its charm.

Gascoyne London are proud to have such a unique and beloved establishment as a tenant. Goldsboro Books is a testament to the enduring appeal of the physical book and the magic of a well-curated space. We encourage you to make a visit and experience this literary paradise for yourself.
