The nearest thing to "L-space" (one for the Pratchett fans) I've come across.

They have changed a lot. They have started to letting you pay for the books with the same procedure as in any other bookshop. And I am pretty sure that the books are now sorted as is usual and not on publisher as primary sort key.

Since Foyle have changed and most of the second hand bookshops at Charing Cross have disappeared a visit to London is not what it used to be.
