Marks & Co was an antiquarian bookshop at 84 Charing Cross Road, London.
The shop was founded in the 1920s by Benjamin Marks and Mark Cohen. Cohen was persuaded to allow his name to be abbreviated in the company's name. A book of correspondence between Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, together with other members of the staff between 1949 and 1968, published by Hanff as 84 Charing Cross Road, was later made into a stage play, television play and BAFTA-winning film.
Marks & Co closed in 1970.
