Mike's review

Visited 2024

This bookshop is unique, it’s in a narrow boat on Regent's Canal. Only a 5 min walk from King's Cross and a good stop while walking around the canals!

From the source

Floating bookshop on Regent’s Canal near King’s Cross, selling books from a barge with a famously atmospheric canal-side setup. Best as a short browse while moving through Granary Square or Coal Drops Yard.
