About this space

The bookshop cafe at The Common Press is a beautiful intersectional bookshop that is ideal for talks, panel discussions, book launches, and social gatherings for up to 60 people.

As London's first consciously queer intersectional bookshop, we champion titles by authors from a wide range of marginalized backgrounds.
