Many of the best books are more than just an intriguing tale, but shine a light on important issues or really make us think. They give priority to marginalised voices in publishing, and much of their stock revolves around topics like politics, philosophy, feminism and psychology.
While these topics might be hard-hitting, the vibe is friendly and laid-back. A post shared by Southbank Centre southbankcentre. When it pops up, this is one of the best secondhand book stores in London.
