Established in 1989 by Laurence Worms and Kenneth Fuller, and situated between Charing Cross Road and St. Martin's Lane in London's West End, Cecil Court is a pedestrian alleyway lined with an alluring mixture of specialist bookshops/fine art galleries and antique emporiums.

With warm, friendly and knowlegeable staff, and a rolling stock featuring many hundreds of finely illustrated and translated editions of Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark we will always do our very best to help you find that special book to gift as a present, or to add to your own collection.
