Скачать или смотреть Late Night Shopping at the London Review Bookshop

Our late night shopping evenings feature complementary wine, a 10% discount on books — and food from the Cake Shop, themed each month around our current culinary obsessions. http://lrb.me/lateshopping

In December, we were inspired by Phaidon's incredible bible of Mexican cookery.

Gayle decorated the shop with papel picado, Katy squeezed limes for a solid 45 minutes, and Natalia boggled our British tastebuds with micheladas — beer spiked with tabasco, citrus juice and salt. Terry and her team assembled trays of ceviche, refritos and pumpkin-seed dip: we were particularly chuffed to hear the food being praised by a Mexican customer. And after we shut the shop for the night, John brought out a piñata. (There was also a spot of impromptu hairdressing.)

ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP

Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.

Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.

THE CAKE SHOP

Surrounded by books and fragrant with tea, the London Review Cake Shop is the modern answer to London’s long-lost literary coffee-houses. Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.

The London Review Bookshop and Cake Shop are open Monday- Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6.30 p.m. The Bookshop is also open on Sunday, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.

14 Bury Place, London WC1A 2JL. To get in touch, ring us on 020 7269 9045.
