Like most people, I am struck by the innovative interior and creative use of space. More interestingly, the books are organised by certain themes and ‘feels’ mixing fiction and non-fiction which creates a lovely way of discovering new books!
However, the best thing about Libreria is the friendly staff. Cecilia and Lloyd are knowledgeable and enthusiastic and you can sense their love for reading and their job. They have excellent recommendations and are just lovely people to talk to!
The staff is very friendly and they have very good recommendations.
If you are in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by!
Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a friendly bookseller and you’ll find yourself in awe of the titles they have.
There’s a small cozy kids’ corner and some cushioned corners for reading. You’ll also find some designated spaces on the bookshelves that have been curated by popular authors - one of them that stood out to me was Bernadine Evaristo’s curated collection. Great bookshop for moments of tranquility amidst all busyness within the area on a weekend.
I recommend visiting this cosy little bookish spot to unwind after a long stroll through Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market.
No phones allowed or photos. Some books are quite high up on the very tall shelves but nice to look at.
