Languages at Foyles Charing Cross Road

Sprawling across the fourth floor of our London Charing Cross Road shop is our unbeatable Languages department: a spectacular home for learning and literature in another language, sourced from suppliers across the world.

Stocking books for around 100 languages at any given point, our Languages department has particularly sizeable sections for French, Italian, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese and Japanese, and notable selections in Arabic, Russian and Portuguese.

As well as language learning materials and dictionaries, we stock fiction in many languages—both native authors and popular texts translated into the relevant language. We also offer children’s books in many languages, parallel texts to read side-by-side in English, and a selection of non-fiction.

On top of that, we’ve a full range of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) material, from learning to teaching, as well as dictionaries and reference in English. We also have sections for linguistics, translation, style guides, creative writing and more.

Our friendly expert team is on hand to help you find what you’re looking for, and can look into sourcing material not currently in stock. To enquire about stock, placing an order or investigating availability in foreign markets, just email [email protected]
