My second choice would be the bookstore in the British Library, which doesn't have anything like the ambience of Hatchard's, but has a great selection considering what a small space it occupies.
Hatchard's not only has everything, but is lovely to spend time in--that staircase invites you to go up and explore more...I agree that the British library stoer is worth a look too.
Hatchard's is simply a small, expensive, relatively poorly run, branch in the Waterstone's chain.

 Hatchards Copse - Dorset For You
Future management of Hatchards Copse will continue to provide access for local people, whilst improving the woodland habitat.
A coppice management regime is planned to begin this winter, coppicing and layering sections of hazel in order to provide a more varied structure and improve the habitat for insects, birds and small mammals.
Over 100 dormouse nesting boxes have been placed in amongst the hazel over the past three years, which are continually monitored, and it is hoped that this rare creature may take up residence in the wood.

Hatchards once kept a customer waiting in their shop for one of our books while he performed this feat.
When the time came for him to move on, he introduced his friend (and future wife) Carolyn Smith, who stayed with us nearly two years (1983 and part 1984) before departing for the Folio Society.

 NYPL, When Is a Book Not a Book? Oliver Twist in Context
This bookseller's copy has been rebound in half red morocco with gilt tops and gilt letters: the cloth covers have been stripped off, leather covers substituted, the edges of the pages trimmed and the tops of the pages gilded to protect them from dust.
So this is not "an exceptionally fine copy" of the first three-volume book edition of the novel, but rather a copy that has been made finer by an expensive bookbinder (unnamed) and book dealer (Hatchard's, on Piccadilly near London's Piccadilly Circus).
This copy sells for £1500 because it is handsomely bound and because it contains early state title pages, a suppressed plate and three leaves of publishers' advertisements that have nothing to do with the text of the "treatise," that is, Oliver Twist.

This would be partly to seal a permanent advantage with the star's illustrious ongoing prestige, as the National Theatre recently celebrated its French Film Festival and waited impatiently to pay homage to one of the greatest grandes dames of French cinema.
The wonderful thing about Hatchards as opposed to a packed hall when it comes to book signings, is that because it's such a tiny stylish bookshop, you can be sure of a friendly intimate chat with any celebrity who will not be aware of any kind of claustrophic crowd, haste, rush or python queues.
Besides, the fan is generously allowed a wide space berth with which to walk up to its watching idol with any amount of a proferred dignity.
