Where to find specialist language bookshop in London

Following a discussion at parent's evening last night I have included in this section a few adresses of Specialist language bookshops in London.

The textbook that we use in class is called "Metro" but do not feel obliged to purchase this textbook. There are a lot of cheaper resources available in these bookshops as well as online (as discussed your son can use this website and all the MFL links to revise his vocabulary.
