I spend many hours in the bookshops along this stretch, namely Henry Pordes for second hand books and new discounted titles (pile on left of photo), as well as Koenig Books for new art books with lots of great discounts in the basement. (photo right). In 2001 the rents for much of this strip were increased to align them closer to market value but thanks to public support they were reduced again. Unfortunately some bookshops still closed down; Koenig replaced the beloved Zwemmers - a real institution - but thankfully still provide great books, although others are no longer bookshops at all.

Why you should go?, cause we all know....'the revolution wont be televised'....

Beautiful gallery just off Bermondsey St, I've never been disappointed by what I've seen at White Cube

One of my favorite plans for a Sunday morning.

Wood-floored shop with a museum-like vibe selling vintage men's fashions, footwear and accessories.
