Woolfson & Tay

W&T offers a small, carefully hand-selected range of general titles with particular focus on international literature and noteworthy editions, but it is much more than just an independent bookshop. It opened in 2010 with a view to creating a lively community space in the SE1 area and to that end hosts author events, open mic poetry, storytelling sessions, and a lively café. It moved to its Bankside premises in 2013 and was named among Time Out's Best London Shops in 2012 and 2013.
