About the founder

This bookshop, named after the iconic London landmark, was born from a deep love for old books. I am the owner, Maurice Montulet, and I was inspired by the book paradise from the beloved film that we all know, and wanted to create a similar atmosphere for current and future book lovers that is also accessible from a distance.

Driven by a deep passion, and not by mere commercial gain, I sought to create an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle; a refuge for books that are often overlooked.

With a focus on preserving less timeless treasures that might be overshadowed by more popular works, Charing Cross Road Bookshop is a haven for literary and less literary delights.
