One of my favourite shops in the world

says David Bailey.

Claire De Rouen

 Claire De Rouen, who sadly died recently, was a colleague and a friend but more importantly an original, a one off. Her knowledge of Photography and Fashion was as legendary as her style.

Her legacy, Clair de Rouen Books at 121-125 Charing Cross Road, (First Floor) showcases new and classic talent in both fields and is a must for anyone involved or interested in the creative arts.

Claire will be sadly missed by all who knew her - the Charing Cross Road will not be the same without her - the shop will continue to trade under the watchful eyes of those she trained.
