The stunning bookstore in the UK is welcomed as the most beautiful and magical thing in the UK. And people are surprised at where it is.
If you're a book superfan, looking for a stunning work space, or want to find new hidden gems to explore, this incredible Waterstones store is unparalleled. It's a bookstore, but it looks like a museum.
The 19th century Victorian building has magnificent, refined stone pillars and vaulted ceilings supported by wooden beams, with many original features. Customers can view a wide range of books and admire the architecture from the mezzanine floor seven days a week.
Plus, there is a coffee shop that serves a variety of snacks. The building in Bradford, Yorkshire was once used to trade wool until the 1960s. Visiting Bradford said: “We offer a wide range of titles, great value and expert advice from our dedicated and passionate team of bookstores, as well as a wide range of stationery, greeting cards, gifts, games and toys.
“On the mezzanine floor you can sit at Cafe W with coffee, cakes and books and admire the architecture of both the shop and the city.”
One book lover recently shared online that he had travelled online for two hours to visit a Bradford bookstore, saying it was “completely worth it.”
Individuals shared the video via her page @victoriaslittlelibrary. This has gained over 2 million viewers on Tiktok and said, “It felt like I stepped into Hogwarts.”
She got her popcorn ice cream latte, spent time reading, and enjoyed an environment of “pure bliss.” She shared a clip showing the interior of the bookstore and said, “Come with us to visit the UK's most beautiful bookstores.”
Commenting on the video, one person said: Another commented: “I love Bradford Waterstone. It's beautiful.”
Another Bradford residence said, “There is no waterstone to compare to ours. It's our pride and joy.” “I work in a cafe and honestly it's the best building,” another building added.
Another share: “Bradford Waterstones got me through my degree.” Another agreed, “It was the only reason why the Bradford Waterstones allowed me to go to college.”
One individual who was gobsmacked in the place said, “I said it wasn't in Bradford and thought it was Edinburgh or something.” “The Bradford Waterstones are redemptions for Bradford City,” he insisted another.
“This is a place I want to go when I want to forget that I live in Bradford,” another agreed. Another observed: “Bradford is not a great place, but it certainly has great architecture. That's why Little Germany, the city and other parts of the country are used on the film set.”
“The only good thing about Bradford,” another added.
