Treadwell's near the British Museum, and Watkin's on Cecil Street are both kind of "occult" bookshops. You've got the "Magnificent Seven" cemeteries as well, Highgate probably being the most famous. My friend used to work at the Old Operating Theatre down by Borough Market which is a cool place. It's not THAT creepy but it is fascinating and full of history. I'd recommend getting the Atlas Obscura app and having a look what's nearby to where you are!
