Fabulous Waterstones

I recently got introduced to Waterstones, a book chain in UK (some branches in EU ?). Somehow in all my earlier visits I had missed seeing them (or not visiting them). But better never late than never !

The biggest store is in Piccadilly, near the tube station. But the one we frequented and the one with a great feel was on the one on Tottenham Court Road. It's open till 11:00 PM on all weekdays, has a  nice cosy cafe in the basement. More than the books (which Piccadilly has a lot more) , it has a great atmosphere.  It became the go to place for us to drop in post dinner, browsing through books and being a part of the events (which happen regularly !). In a way it re-kindled (pun intended) the love I had for libraries years ago.

Wished Bangalore had such a place(s).
