Join us from anywhere in the world to watch to your favourite authors in conversation – and ask them questions yourself – via your laptop, phone or tablet. Where possible, we’ll also have signed copies of their books available for sale at the Bookshop, and through our online store.
Out of a mixture of gratitude and admiration, we turn our shop, twice a week or so, into a miniature auditorium in which authors talk about and read from their work, meet their readers, and engage in lively debate about the burning topics of the day. Find out here who’s scheduled to appear.
The London Review Bookshop is also available for hire; email or call (020) 7269 9030 for more information.
We have wheelchair access to the ground floor. If you have any queries regarding disability access at external venues please give us a call.
