[QUOTE="tulipone, post: 3419120, member: 71656"]I often work in London and like to pop in to Spink from time to time when walking past from Kings Cross. As others have said, the book selection is good (Coins of England and the United Kingdom are my go to books) and often interesting other cabinets to look in. Coincraft is just over from the British Museum and there are others scattered around, but more around Denmark Street and Trafalgar Square but I have never found much affinity with any of them. I certainly would doubt that you'd find any bargains even with your fairly strong Dollar. If you are in London on Saturday mornings, there is a show in an underground car park next to Starbucks in Embankment. This used to be quite large but has decreased win size and quality over the years - possibly better for stamps and Postcards now. If I had a short while in London I would be more inclined to target that which cannot be seen in the US. The British Museum is fantastic but too large to just wander around with no plan. Do some research prior to going and see what interests you most. The National Gallery is also a fantastic visit but again is large.[/QUOTE]
