The Thames Bookstore book nook recreates a riverside London bookshop with a deep red facade. Behind the lit bay window, shelves climb to the ceiling around a tiny red phone box, and the sandwich board by the door invites you to open it and meet another world.

A 343-piece DIY kit for patient hands, and a fine gift for book lovers and fans of England.

Who is the Thames Bookstore made for?

The Thames Bookstore book nook is made for book lovers, anglophiles and builders who enjoy a demanding project. Rated Difficult with 343 pieces, it rewards patient hands and people already at ease with assembly kits, solo or shared over a weekend.

On a shelf, its deep red facade stands out next to brown, cream and navy spines, very much at home among classic novels.

After dark, its LEDs give the shop window a warm glow, like a bookshop still open at night.

Book nook details

Push open the cream door and the shop reveals its reading corner: a red upholstered armchair beside a round table, where a book lies open as if someone just left. An old gramophone sits among the shelves, and a wooden ladder leans against the tall bookcases to reach the highest rows. Outside, a flower basket hangs from the cornice, above the motto painted on the sign: Time settles here. The whole scene rests on a white brick base and a stone pavement, like a corner of old London that never closed.

FAQs about our Book Nooks

What's included in my miniature decor pack?

Your DIY Book nook Kit includes everything you need to get started: a detailed instruction guide, cutting tools, crafting papers, solid plywood sheets, and LED lights. Due to shipping restrictions, we can't include glue and batteries with your order.
If you run into any issues while building your diorama, just shoot us an email and we'll help you out!

Can I get replacement pieces if something breaks or is missing?

If you have a missing or broken piece, you can contact us and we'll send you a replacement.
Please note that the replacement process may take some time since we're not a large company and we need to individually manufacture missing pieces, which can take a few weeks. But our team will be there to provide you with all the necessary information via email.

Is it too complicated for younger children to assemble?

The recommended age is simply a guideline, many children ages 6 to 8 have successfully built their book nooks and miniature dollhouses on their own, simply by following the instructions provided in the boxes. If your child is used to building with Legos, they'll manage without too much difficulty.

Are the book nook pieces dangerous for my child?

Our book nooks are made of wood, which is completely safe for children and adults. They are certified to safety standards and are free of high-concern chemicals.

Do I need additional tools to assemble my miniature book nook?

No, you have all the necessary tools to assemble your book nook without difficulty. However, batteries are not included due to customs and shipping reasons. Check the specifications section to see what batteries your book nook requires.
