The Common Press is a not-for-profit queer community venue that means many things to many people. As London's first consciously queer intersectional bookshop, we provide a sanctuary and third space for LGBTQIA+ literature, arts, culture, and community, creating space for queers to gather, connect, and belong, both during the day and into the night.
We stand up for what we believe in. Our shelves hold more than 7,000 books exploring trans-inclusive feminism, anti-colonialism, anti-fascism, climate justice, wellbeing, and self-care. Alongside our bookshop, we host programme of events that bring our community together to learn, organise, celebrate, and imagine new possibilities.
