I'm going down to London soon and would like to visit Housmans bookshop but google street view doesn't show it. Has it closed down?

It was open last time I was there, haven't heard anything about it closing down. Take a tube to King's Cross/St Pancras, come out onto the main road and walk left past two sets of traffic lights, until you hit a big white building called Scala, turn left again here and it's about 10 seconds up the street on the left.

Do a Google search for London Scala and you'll find it, it's literally like 50 yards away from Housemans

Going from Spawn of Stalin's instructions, you can see it on Google Streetview (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=London+Scala&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=54.79724,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=Scala&hnear=Westminster,+London,+United+Kingdom&t=h&layer=c&cbll=51.531176,-0.120978&panoid=62Z7KZEq0yuTHTgm3T8SOA&cbp=12,288.95,,0,10.23&ll=51.531174,-0.137329&spn=0,0.109863&z=14). Looks fine to me.
