The Common Press CIC is a lot of things to a lot of people. As London's first consciously queer intersectional bookshop, we provide a safer space 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 authors from a wide range of marginalized backgrounds. We host a diverse range of events every day, including dance classes, yoga sessions, book clubs, family-friendly events, book launches, workshops, and parties. There isn't an event we haven't hosted, and you can also live-stream an event with us. Whether you're looking for the latest novels by your favorite gay, lesbian, queer, trans, and non-binary authors; seminal works of Black history; fourth-wave feminist theory; or that niche book on disability activism, we either have it or know how to get it fast. It's not just novels and theory—we also stock poetry, plays, graphic novels, and a great collection of books for children and young adults. And if, after all that browsing, you're feeling a bit tired, we make a pretty great coffee and cuppa as well.
