Sobre esta Tip
Cecil Court is a short pedestrian lane between Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane, lined with Victorian shopfronts and around twenty independent antiquarian and second-hand shops. Look for first editions, children's classics, maps, prints and occult books. It was nicknamed Flicker Alley when early film companies worked here, and a plaque marks Mozart's stay. Opening days vary by shop, so check before you go.
