Praise for the spiritual shops walking tour:
“I just wanted to say thank you for your page/pdf on the 5 best spiritual shops in London. Yesterday was my friend Karl’s birthday, we planned to come to London for the day, but didn’t have any specific plans – but when I found your website, I decided as a surprise, we would do your walk. We also stopped at the museum and after doing 4 of the shops, we went to the portrait gallery. Fabulous shops and street walking. Many thanks again.”

Preview of the Spiritual Shops walking tour…

Spiritual Shops in London 1. Treadwells Books
33 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS
It’s like walking into a old library. Except it’s not a library. Treadwells Books is a post-modern, post-Crowley meeting place for intellectual minds and mystical ideas.
It was opened in 2003 by Christina Oakley Harrington. Host venue to eclectic events such as incense making workshops, Wiccan / Pagan circles, tarot reading courses and LGBT & Vodoo in Haiti talks.

Furthermore, it’s got its own apothecary (herbs, potions, oils, incense, candles, cauldrons and other magical supplies).
You can buy a black velvet cape and ‘witches’ hat here too. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.

Best Spiritual Shop in London for:

Spiritual Shop in London 2. The Atlantis Occult Bookshop
49A Museum Street, London WC1A 1LY
There’s a roaring fire, stuffed bookshelves + cosy armchair. You’ve stepped back into another historical era. Time stands still + you can let your imagination run free.
Founded in 1922, welcome to Atlantis: “the oldest independent occult bookshop in London“. Alistair Crowley, Dion Fortune + WB Yeats were all customers.
Notably, Gerald Gardiner started the 20th Century witchcraft revival from the basement of this spiritual shop!

In addition, there’s a large collection of Oracle Card decks for sale, as well as multitudes of rare esoteric books.
Not to mention that Atlantis hosts regular event launches, art exhibitions + workshops.

Spiritual Shop in London 3. Buddha on a Bicycle
27 Endell Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9BA

Spiritual Shops in London 4. Mysteries New Age Store
34 Shorts Gardens, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9PX
Mysteries is well known – even ‘famous’ – thanks to numerous press write-ups since it opened in 1982. While similar new age shops have come and gone, Mysteries has remained.
After over 30 years, Mysteries recently down-sized to one shop instead of two and then moved around the corner, but is still a fully-fledged new age store that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Crystals, metaphysical books, smudge sticks, candles, tarot sets, dream catchers, mystical paraphernalia and knick-knacks galore.
Furthermore, if you need a ‘same-day’ psychic reading they have readers on site seven days a week. (PS. Don’t be put off by the garish website!)


Best Spiritual Shop in London for:
Same-day psychic readings. All things New Age. Pretty gifts.


Spiritual Shops in London 5. Watkins Books
Watkins Bookshop, 19 Cecil Court, London WC2N 4EZ
Watkins Bookshop is ‘the oldest surviving mystical bookshop in the world’. It moved to it’s present site in Cecil Court off St. Martin’s Lane 1901.
This spiritual shop in London specialises in the occult, mystical, esoterica, mind body spirit, new age and metaphysics.
Cecil Court is a Sherlock Holmes-style scene. The surrounding shops support the street’s antiquated feel.
A couple of years ago Watkins ran into financial problems and temporarily closed. It would have been a great pity to have lost this magical little gem.

Fortunately, the bookshop is thriving again. It’s worth mentioning that Watkins’ Mind Body Spirit Magazine publishes an annual 100 most spiritually influential living people list.

Best Spiritual Shop in London for:
Contemporary spirituality, self development and mysticism.
