Okay but... This was, hands down, the loveliest bookstore I've been to in Madrid, and I've been to nearly all of them. This hidden gem specializes in brand new English books, which is pretty rare in Madrid, and not only that but the prices aren't inflamed like they are in other independent bookstores, they're actually reasonably priced (literally prices you'd see on Amazon). The owner was incredibly lovely and helpful, the bookstore vibe itself was incredibly relaxed, welcoming and chill. I was frankly surprised by the large selection of the more trendy books, specifically the fantastic romance and fantasy sections, so this is definitely a spot I'll be recommending for years to come. It's also worth mentioning that there's a very large selection of secondhand books in the back, and the cutest coffee and snacks table for prospective clientes. Strongly, strongly recommend checking it out!

WoW! Menuda librería de inglés!, está hecha con mucho cariño hacia lo que representa la lectura y enseñanza de textos en inglés. Ubicada en la calle Moratín en el precioso barrio de Las Letras en un antiguo taller de fabricación de mesas de billar "Ismael Guarnier". Se conserva el rótulo de la entrada y una antigua barra donde mediante una polea se manejaban los tableros para la fabricación de las mesas. La librería es muy completa con un gran catálogo de libros en inglés y una gran amabilidad. Al final hay una sala donde están los libros de segunda mano, tiene unas butacas, café y Coca-Cola para que te sirvas si así lo deseas mientras ojeas alguno de ellos, que detallazo! Yo compré el guión de la película Oppenheimer. También los sábados su dueño inglés hace un cuenta cuentos gratuito! En definitiva una librería muy especial, hecha con muchísimo cariño.

Secret Kindgdoms, una librería inglesa en pleno Barrio de las Letras de Madrid, que no puedes dejar de visitar. En esta antigua fábrica de billares verás un stock impresionante donde encontrarás el libro que buscas y si no está te lo encargan. Organizan charlas con escritores a los que podrás conocer mientras tomas un té o café. También organizan actividades para niños, para animarles a sumergirse en la literatura. Allí puedes encontrar, además, bolsos y otros artículos que podrás llevarte junto con un buen libro. Repetiremos visita, aunque solo sea para escuchar como David te explica con pasión de librero todo lo puedes encontrar allí.

The couple are really nice and sooooooooooo cute!!!! I am a tourist and I suddenly walked into the store to find some English secondhand books, they invited me to join the cooking sharing event held in their store. And I had a great time there :)) This literally make my day:) and thanks to them I also have a really great memory in Madrid!!!! Highly recommend for everyone who live in Madrid and tourists who want to find the English books:) Mention again, they are really nice and heartwarming :) and u probably should go take a look maybe u will find some special events there just like me:)

La librería es pequeñita pero el trato con el cliente es excelente. Se nota que el propietario ama su trabajo y eso se agradece. Hice un pedido y tardó una semana en llegar. Los precios son bajos porque la literatura publicada en Reino Unido suele serlo, y esto es algo a destacar porque la mayoría de libros en inglés que encontramos en librerías convencionales se venden a precio de libro español. Compré dos libros de tapa dura, en una edición especial preciosa y me costaron 21€ cada uno, el mismo precio que tiene la edición traducida en español en tapa blanda.

A delightful bookstore with an even more delightful proprietor! My husband and I brought our three children here (two teenagers and a 6-year old) and we all found loads and loads of books we wanted to bring home. The front room has new books and book-related gifts (tote bags, greeting cards, etc.), while the back room has used books, several comfy chairs, and a table with complimentary tea and coffee and cold drinks. We spent a lovely hour here and will recommend it to anyone traveling to Madrid.

Fui ayer porque no paraba de salir en tiktok y cuesta mucho encontrar libros en ingles por la zona, y es exactamente como lo que he oido, un local precioso, con una cantidad y variedad de libros digna de admirar por otras librerias, y ya si hablamos del personal no podemos solo poner 5 estrellas porque se merecen mil mas, la señoras que nos ha atendido es un verdadero amor, el trato ha sido magnifico. Voy a volver muchas veces, me encanta

The bookstore has a REALLY big selection of books, both new and used. The owners are extremely nice and will help you with any questions you might have, they are really sweet. One thing I also really loved are the small author/theme shrines they had showcasing a great amount amount books of that theme/by that author. The books are also all very reasonably priced!!

This place has a large and wide selection of English books—there’s something for everyone. Plus, they put on events like author signings and have a book club/writers’ group open to all. I wish the store itself had a bit more a curated collection (it’s quite overwhelming choosing between everything, but if you know what you want specifically, it’s perfect).

Great bookstore. The new book section was great even had a decent about of kid, teen books. The used book section wasn’t great I felt like it was very old books but we just browsed the kids section in the used book section. The owner Was super nice and we also purchased and American English version of the board game risk. I felt prices were normal

This is heaven. The interior looks absolutely stunning. There are comfy chairs you can sit in and read (or even work for a little bit), a coffee + tea station and a loooot of books. Either you can buy new ones or pre loved (as they call it, which i adore) ones for fraction of the original price. The atmosphere (and staff) is simply amazing.

Had the pleasure to find this place - as I was in dire need to a new book. Giedre was an absolute treasure to get guidance from but she also asked for suggestions from me, which showed deep curiosity and I appreciated that a lot. The store is wonderful and great collections all around. Please visit and buy tons of books!!!

Fantástica, solo libros en inglés, nuevos y usados, con muchísimos títulos, local muy agradable. David, el propietario, entusiasta y enamorado de lo que hace, excelente trato al cliente. También tienen eventos divertidos todos los meses, todo en inglés. Vale muchísimo la pena visitarlo!

As part of the course, our class was invited to this "Secrete Kingdoms" bookshop. Its a wonderful place for every taste and age. There is a huge choice of new and second hand books. Affordable prices and very welcoming atmosphere. If you love reading this is a place for you.

Very calm and comfortable space. A very good selection of classics and more modern pieces. Shopkeeper was very knowledgeable and kind. A space to relax and reset in. Sad I could spend more time in Madrid to revisit for the author upcoming author events.

Came across this shop whilst looking for books in English. By far my favourite book store in Madrid. The people who work there are extremely friendly and helpful. They also have a selection of used books at very good prices. 100% recommend!

Loveliest bookstore - stopped in to grab a book before my flight home and they had the exact book I was searching for. Great staff, and they even offered us cold drinks on a hot day. If I lived any closer I would frequent this place!

Awesome English bookstore. Great selection, well kept. The owners make a real effort to keep a community of book lovers alive. It is like stepping into a traditional bookstore (those we all know of, but have never really visited)

The best English bookshop in Madrid! Complete with free tea and coffee, reading snug, second hand section, kids’ section, charming owner and even a Hogwarts Express that runs across the bookshelves. What more can you ask for?

Owners are so lovely! They have a back room where they sell secondhand books and they serve free drinks and coffee there which is the cutest thing ever. Favorite bookshop in Madrid for English books, I always come here.

Got to love everything about this bookshop. It offers a wide selection of books, the staff is the nicest, the prices are good and it has such a cozy atmosphere to get lost into. Just lovely. Can't wait to be back :)

Increíble librería de primera y segunda mano. Más grande de lo que yo me esperaba, con una gran variedad de géneros y autores. Todo en inglés, un paraíso para los que nos encanta la literatura en su idioma original.

Tienen libros de muchos géneros, para todos los gustos y edades, actuales o más clasicos, incluso tienen una parte de segunda mano. Es una librería estupenda! Además, no pueden ser más encantadores al atenderte!!

Una librería maravillosa, con encanto, para encontrar libros en inglés. Pero lo mejor es la amabilidad de su dueño y la profesionalidad. Un placer escuchar sus comentarios y consejos para elegir libros.

Such a perfect English library. Amazing selection, well curated, with a 2nd hand room with reasonably priced books. Also the owner is very affable and knowledgeable. Recommend for any reader out there!

lovely english bookshop with a great selection of new books. the lgbtq+ section is great & the owners are so kind! they also have a great second-hand section with a fabulous array of railway books

A precious place with a great variety of books. Hands down, it's now one of my favorite places in Madrid. Hope they grow so much more, it'll be deserved. Can't wait to come more.

They are really kind. A very cosy book shop that makes you feel at home. You can find a wide variety of books at very reasonable prices! One of my favourite’s in Madrid!

This is my favourite bookshop in Madrid. Really cozy and it has a great selection of books. The atmosphere is delightful and they are always very kind and helpful.

Great service, the children enjoyed sitting and exploring the books, cozy atmosphere. We also got to see a lovely Harry Potter train adventure.
