The Marylebone branch is housed in a former Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries, graceful skylights and William Morris prints.

The older section of the Marylebone shop was completed in 1912, and was originally an antiquarian bookshop called Francis Edwards.

[7] Daunt Books introduced a canvas tote bag around 2006, as a giveaway carrier for customers spending over £50.

After customers attempted to put the bags over their shoulders, Daunt changed to a larger, long-handled version in heavier fabric, which they made available for purchase.

They are decorated with a line drawing of the Marylebone shopfront and are made in India by Re-wrap, a social enterprise which trains women to manufacture organic cotton items for export.
