Kentish Town
Amnesty Bookshop in Kentish Town is the newest in our fleet of ten, and one of two Amnesty bookshops in London, serving a vibrant local community.
Opening Hours:
Monday-Saturday: 11.00am - 5pm
Sunday: 12pm - 4pm
We receive regular donations of newly published books with an emphasis on contemporary fiction, non-fiction, classics and children’s books. Our foreign languages section is particularly strong, as is our range of visual arts, self-help, and cookery books.
If you’re looking for cards and gifts you’ll find a varied range of ethical, Fairtrade, hand eco-friendly Amnesty products for children and adults, as well as original cards, postcards, and other handmade items produced by local artists.
We are always looking for people to join our volunteer team. If you want to learn more there is a bit more about volunteering in Amnesty bookshops here, to find out about the vacancies we have email kentishtownbookshop@amnesty.org.uk or pop in for a chat.
