Come visit our lovely church bookshop, a hidden gem for book lovers!
We offer a diverse selection of second-hand books, including many rare and out-of-print titles from the 19th and 20th centuries—some over 100 years old.
Our collection spans a wide range of genres, from children’s books and detective novels to cookery, biographies, art, history, modern languages, classics, film, travel, and religion. We also stock music CDs and dictionaries.
Most books are priced at just £2—far cheaper than most charity shops—and every purchase helps support Hornsey Parish Church.
Come and discover a treasure trove of literary finds!
