London Bookshop Crawl 2025

Group Bookshop Crawl Programme

Bookshop Crawl across the city on your own or with friends using the Welcome Pack, or join one of our Group Bookshop Crawls to meet new book loving friends. Come along to some of our fantastic literary events, celebrating & supporting bookshops, libraries & literacy in general, or join in from far with our online events programme.

Bookshop Crawls

Group Bookshop Crawls are running across London and are a great way to meet new book loving friends, discover new bookshops & buy books without judgement. Bring your friends or come alone and make new ones.

solo bookshop crawlers: New for this year, join one of our groups for solo bookshop crawlers, and meet others who are also coming alone. You're also welcome to come along to any of our other groups on your own as well.
