London\u2019s Regent Canal is home to Word on the Water \u2013 a one of a kind second-hand bookstore that gives customers the thrill of experiencing the serene sway of the water while they look for their perfect read.

The unique establishment could probably be the best haven for booklovers that London has to offer, or just a great way for commoners to enjoy a perfectly good sunny afternoon. As for us, this may as well be London\u2019s most famous attraction!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/luxurylaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bookstore-London-4.jpg\" alt=\"bookstore-London-4\" width=\"721\" height=\"481\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-130338\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/luxurylaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bookstore-London-3.jpg\" alt=\"bookstore-London-3\" width=\"721\" height=\"541\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-130337\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[Via \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymodernmet.com\/profiles\/blogs\/word-on-the-water-bookstore\">My Modern Met<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hand-me-down bookstores are exciting as it is, with the smell of old books and the excitement of not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":130335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[1069,151,6903],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Concept bookstore invites booklovers for rides on London\u2019s waters - Luxurylaunches<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hand-me-down bookstores are exciting as it is, with the smell of old books and the excitement of not knowing what treasures are waiting to be found;
