A new destination for travel-lovers just opened its doors in Marylebone. Travellers Tales combines a carefully curated bookshop with cultural events, creating a space that inspires wanderlust through the written word. And when ready to pack your bags, they will help you plan for the adventure!
The shop will offer a hand-picked selection of large-format photography books, expert travel guides, rare editions and novels that evoke distant places. Founder Jayne Alexander, a veteran of the luxury travel industry, describes the concept as a place where literary inspiration meets real-world adventure.
–Books have always been catalysts for adventure, says Alexander.
-The right story, photograph or sentence will transport you thousands of miles, she continues.
Beyond browsing, visitors will be encouraged to linger. The shop will be designed to feel welcoming rather than transactional, with comfortable seating and knowledgeable staff ready to recommend titles or discuss destinations.
Travellers Tales also plans to establish itself as a cultural gathering point, hosting intimate salons, author readings and conversations with photographers, historians and artists. For those seeking gifts, the shop will stock artisan stationery from Florence, leather-bound journals, and rare book editions, with gift-wrapping available in-store.
And if the experience sparks the lust to travel, Traveller Tales will help you tailor your travel plans.
Travellers Tales 87 Wimpole Street, London
