The Common Press

The Common Press CIC is a not-for-profit queer bookshop café that means a lot of things to the community. As London's first consciously queer intersectional bookshop and events space, we provide a sanctuary and third space for literature, culture and for our LGBTQIA+ community to exist both during the day and at night in social settings. We are a radical and independent space that stands up for what we believe in and champions books by underrepresented authors and those from the Global majority. We host a diverse range of events every day, including dance classes, yoga sessions, book clubs, family-friendly events, book launches, workshops, and parties.
