Book Warehouse was a bargain bookshop on [[Locale Lower Marsh|Lower Marsh]] near [[Waterloo Station]]. It closed down in Autumn 2017. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> One of a small chain of bargain bookshops, with half a dozen outlets in London. It's on [[Locale Lower Marsh|Lower Marsh]] near [[Waterloo Station]]. It was previously on the corner of Waterloo Road and Lower Marsh <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2669855002/ photo]</small>, but [http://londonbooks.tumblr.com/post/119375423866/ moved] in early 2015 due to redevelopment of the old site, and is now located inside Gramex music shop. The information below relates to the old location; we haven't yet visited the new location, and hence some details may be out of date. Books are arranged by category; these include history, transport, erotica, photography, design, cookery, health, fitness. They also have fiction and children's books. On [[Kake]]'s July 2008 visit the science fiction section was really quite pathetic, consisting mainly of several books by each of a few big names — Terry Brooks, Arthur C Clarke, Robert Jordan, etc. On the other hand, the transport and London sections were pretty good, and I bought one or two books from each - <i>The Bus We Loved</i>, a history of the Routemaster; <i>Jewish London: An Illustrated History</i>; and another one about the history of Hammersmith and Fulham — for just under £15 for all three. On another visit in January 2014, [[Kake]] failed to find any interesting London books. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Definitely worth a look if you're passing, since you might well be able to pick up a bargain; but the stock is too hit-and-miss for it to be worth a special trip.
