This is a unique store with a rich history, packed full of LGBT titles. The staff are knowledgeable and willing to help. I'll be back!
My second home in London. A beautiful store where one can find some amazing content on the LGBTQ community. No comments, just go and pick up any book of your choice, because everything is worth it.
Absolutely wonderful service by post to keep us all reading during lock-down. Receiving the books wrapped was a lovely surprise. Keep reading, keep supporting!
I came there yesterday, and wow! Wonderful experience, great choice and amazing staff. The woman working there had to deal with an angry, verbally violent client and handled it very well, stayed nice and patient despite his harsh words. I’ll come back for sure.
A must visit, for past history and to the modern day. Kind people will help you out with advice, no judgement and support. A safe harbor in a rough sea. Please watch the movie Pride 2014 who features this place
I’ve discovered many new books that I’ve loved through this bookstore. They also have a secondhand books section. Their entire collection is AMAZING!
We spent an hour in this treasure trove and could have easily spent longer. So tempting to buy one of everything. Every LGBTQ genre book you can imagine. Picked up some kid-friendly stuff while we were there too. Fab
a brilliant selection of books on LGBTQ communities, includes a section of faith and LGBTQ experiences. I bought a few books here. Brilliant bookshop.
