The Bolingbroke is a lovely bookstore in the heart of the Northcote Road's busy shopping area.
Entering this shop, you are immediately struck by the sense of a relaxed small-scale bookstore, with no 3 for 2 offers or heavy sells being thrust at you.
There's a sofa to relax and take in a book, and a really good range of books, from the classics to children's, and a smattering of maps thrown in. Been around for over 25 years, so worth taking a look anyway to sample Old-school Clapham.
MY BACK PAGES
Now, I feel like I’m cheating on the Boligbroke Bookshop by saying this, but My Back Pages is my favourite bookstore in London.
Local, ram-shackle, small and crammed with all the books you could hope and dream of, with the offer of ordering any they don’t have in, this place is what book-worms wet dream about.
I sometimes come in just to browse, and am always staggered at the range of weird stuff they have. Also stock old cool looking books to sex up your book-shelves.
