RIBA Bookshops

About Us

There is nothing more enjoyable than spending time in a bookshop.  But, if you don’t want the same as everyone else, ditch the High Street and head to the RIBA Bookshop at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour for truly fabulous design books.

Aimed to appeal to the decorating crowd as well as those who just cannot resist anything design-related, this stylish shop offers some of the most alluring titles on interiors and architecture.  The line-up is impressive and, as each book has been hand-picked, it is a real source of inspiration for those who are passionate about the way they live.

There is so much to choose from: tomes on hip hotels and modern buildings jostle for attention with those that explore ravishing gardens or eclectic spaces.  The layout of the bookshop makes it easy for design devotees to leaf through books or, having bought them, you can enjoy them over a cup of coffee in the adjoining Design Café. 

For the best in design and decoration, look no further than Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.  Once the interior design industry’s best kept secret, it now welcomes both trade and retail visitors
