Our Story
Veranda Books is an independent bookshop specialising in finding the most exciting and intriguing voices from around the world.
01
Where we are
A stone’s throw from the bustle of Marble Arch, we’re at 7 Seymour Place, W1H 5BA an oasis of cafes and restaurants. Call in after brunch, or pick up a coffee to drink while you browse.
02
Books to boast about
With an entire wall devoted to Translated Fiction, expect to find the unexpected. Our other walls house contemporary fiction, and a few old favourites. Savour our poetry selection, essays and short stories, or explore our range of non-fiction - whether you want to make sense of the world or a 3-course meal.
03
Come and say hi
Join us to browse, or to chat with our welcoming team - we’re always happy to hear what you’ve been reading, or to share our own recommendations. Books, days out, films, gigs, the ups and downs of life in 2025: all in a day’s chat at Veranda!
Meet the People
Behind Veranda
We dig great books. Reading them, talking about them, looking at them… you know. You probably do too. And we really like books from and about other places, by people with different experiences to us, because all these stories are really what makes the world go round.
