Waterstones

Whitgift Centre,
Croydon,
CR0 1UX

Waterstones began in 1982. Tim Waterstone. Over the decades that have followed, we have grown to become an icon of the British cultural landscape, employing over 3,000 superb booksellers across over 280 bookshops.

As the last surviving national bookshop chain, we are proud to have fought off the perceived threat of e-readers and online competition to begin a programme of active expansion.

Perhaps unusually for a national retailer, our branch managers enjoy a high degree of individual autonomy, running their shops to best please their local customers, with only the lightest of central suggested direction. We take enormous pleasure in championing simply good (but sometimes relatively overlooked) books.

Through our own coffee shops, range of books, our array of gifts and booksellers who genuinely love what they sell, we welcome you to Waterstones.
