Gleaming from a four million pound refurbishment Foyles has shrugged off its careworn, shabby chic interior in favour of a clean, up-to-date and ultra modern look. Despite this startling transformation the store still boasts a unique independence and quirkiness that have long been its trademark. The literary selection is second to none as are the staff who are always expert, helpful, and unobtrusive. There's also an art gallery, Ray's Jazz Cafe and shop and, in the children's department, a piranha tank. A typical year at Foyles is always peppered with a wide and exciting programme of events, luncheons at the Dorchester and book-signings. Bookmark this one.
