Heywood Hill is a bookshop at 10 Curzon Street, in the Mayfair district of London.

[1] The shop was opened by George Heywood Hill on 3 August 1936, with the help of Lady Anne Gathorne-Hardy, who would later become his wife.

[2][3] For the last three years of the Second World War, while George Heywood Hill was in the Army, Lady Anne ran the shop with the assistance of the novelist Nancy Mitford.

[6] John Saumarez Smith, who had joined the staff straight from Cambridge in 1965, took up the reins as manager in 1974 following Buchanan's retirement, a position he held for over thirty years.

[7] In 1991, the shop was bought by Nancy Mitford's brother-in-law, Andrew Cavendish, 11th Duke of Devonshire.
