Waterstones Teddington

The High Street bookshop, where handwritten staff recommendations make it worth browsing slowly.

Waterstones Teddington, bookshop in Teddington

Waterstones is a national chain, but the Teddington branch earns its place. It’s on the older stretch of the High Street, and the booksellers clearly read what they sell: the shelves are dotted with handwritten recommendation cards, the surest sign of a shop with opinions.

The shop sees itself as part of the community in a town full of young families. It’s an easy stop for a birthday present, a holiday read, or an order you can collect on your way home.
