Lala Books

On Camberwell's Grove Lane, Lala Books keeps rather special hours for a bookshop, staying open until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays so the browsing can linger well into the evening. Alongside its recommended titles, there's a pay-it-forward scheme, gift cards, private hire and a programme of events, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance making it easy for everyone to visit. A 4.8 rating from 148 reviews suggests the neighbourhood has thoroughly taken this place to heart.
