The Common Press Online Shop
The Common Press CIC is London's first consciously queer and intersectional bookshop, café, and events space—a sanctuary for storytelling, queer literature, and community. As a not-for-profit organisation, we provide an essential third space for our diverse LGBTQIA+ community.
We champion LGBTQIA+ authors, queer Black and POC writers, non-binary and trans voices, underrepresented creatives, small publishers, and young LGBTQIA+ people. Our values are rooted in trans-inclusive feminism, anti-colonialism, anti-fascism, ecopolitics, and self-care.
Looking for a specific book? Drop us an email at books@commonpress.co.uk, and we’ll do our best to order it for you!
