College Street is closed to traffic today but we are still open (though keeping the doors closed to keep the noise down).

Do come along, we'd love to see you.

London, 1835. Kate Hogarth falls in love with the young journalist Charles Dickens. The early days of their marriage are perfect, but it doesn't last...

Join us during Independent Bookshop Week for an evening with Emily Howes author of Mrs. Dickens.
