Daunt Books, Marylebone High Street. Lived in the flat above it for many years, so my fondness is perhaps a bit biased, but I used to spend many an hour sat in there.

Use to love Stanfords on Long Acre as well but its probably not there now. They used to sell out of date nautical maps in a carboard box in a dingey / dinjee.. a murky corner and I used to spend hours going through them trying to find the opens that featured no land mass at all. Just huge great big A0 sized maps of nothing but blue water, criss crossed by flight lines, shipping lanes, latitude and longitude and territory markings and bizarre words.
Next door to Stanfords was a great shop called D'arts which was Dillons specialist arts bookshop. It sold all the art and design, fashion and photography etc books and magazines but it also had a display case full of artists hand made books and zines and self published stuff. I spent most of my student grant on odd little art books from there. The shop closed down when they closed down my college... we were probably its prime source of income.
