Atlantis Bookshop

London’s oldest independent bookshop on the occult (it opened back in 1922) sells new and secondhand titles on everything from angels and fairies, vampires, werewolves, earth mysteries and magic, to yoga, meditation, feng shui, healing, green issues, spiritualism and psychology. The shop also hosts regular events such as ‘Discovering the Runes (for beginners)’ and the popular ‘Psychic Café’ series. The physical shop is petite in size, but a much larger range of stock is available from the company’s e-shop (www.theatlantisbookshop.com). The shop’s in-store noticeboard is a useful resource for finding out about practitioners of alternative therapies, as well as external events.
