After leaving my friend I had some spare time so I headed for The Economists’ Bookshop, founded in 1946 in a joint partnership between The Economist & the London School of Economics and part of the Waterstones chain. The building set in the heart of the LSE and not far from the building rumoured to have inspired Dickens’ book The Old Curiosity Shop – I liked the inside of the store for its quirky layout. (There is a great second-hand bookshop next door called Alpha Books which is definitely worth a visit at the same time!).
