Yup, the Charing Cross Road (runs from Tottenham Court Road tube to Trafalgar Square via Leicester Square tube, right in the centre) has half a dozen used book shops!.
On Bell Street near Edgware Road tube there is a great second hand bookshop ( http://www!.allinlondon!.co!.uk/directory/1!.!.!. ) I have found some great books here!. It's not far from the centre but it isn't too close either!.!.!.
Back in the centre(ish) of town is what used to be London's biggest second hand book shop 'Skoob' they were near Holborn but then closed and reopened after a few years in the Brunswick Centre (pretty modern in an old fashioned sort of way http://images!.google!.co!.uk/images!?q=brun!.!.!. It's near Russell Square Tube (pretty close to the British Museum and lots of hotels) and also has a great small cinema called 'The Renoir'!.
On museum Street (I think that's the right one) opposite the British Museum are lots of Antiquarian book sellers!.
