Where is Charing Cross Road located? [br] [originaltext] Londoners are great

Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books. There are many streets in London containing shops, which specialize in book selling.(14)Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one like the biggest bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty little places, which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops sell, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, art books, foreign books, books on philosophy, politics or any other of a very large number of subjects. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet. Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest.(15)For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must travel off the beaten tracks to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrow, which line the roadside.(16)In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
