    Superb stock but grossly overpriced - Chris Harte 14.04.09.

Greenwich Book Place & Gallery
258-260 Creek Road
LONDON  SE10 9SW map
tel: 020 8858 2414
Open: 7 days 12.00 - 6.00.
Thousands of secondhand and antiquarian books in addition to art pieces. Also offering gallery space to artists. Telephone for further details.
     Disorganised stock, not strong on condition, including vintage [or old, depending on your view] Pan and Penguin books, but with some interesting books eccentrically priced. - Roger Allen 12.07.07.
     The owner is currently resisting compulsory purchase of the building as part of planned comprehensive redevelopment of the area. - TBG 12.07.07.
     Just reopened! The staff are currently cataloguing the stock for internet based sales as well as hoping that the Greenwich populous and visitors will rediscover this treasure trove. - Vic 11.11.09. See: thegreenwichphantom

Jane Gibberd Secondhand Books
20 Lower Marsh
LONDON  SE1 7RJ
tel: 020 7633 9562  map
Open: Wednesdy - Friday 11.00 - 7.00 and often at other times. A small shop with a hand-picked stock of about 2,000 secondhand books covering all sorts of subjects.
    Complete stock would fit in piles on my kitchen table. No wonder the shop only opens two days a week. - Chris Harte 27.06.09

The Junk Shop Emporium
9 Greenwich South Street
LONDON  SE10 8NW
tel: ?
Open: ?
    Has a considerable number of books. Far more than Oxfam at Blackheath, and far cheaper than the nearby Bookshop on the Heath. Indeed Observer Books that cost £20-£30 in Bookshop on the Heath can be had for £4-£5. Steve Newman 25.06.09.
    Very pleasant and helpful people but it is what it says: a junk shop. By no stretch of the imagination is it a bookshop. The books in the shop are from house clearances and not really wanted by the owners. The junk, however, is fascinating. - Chris Harte 12.08.09.

Halcyon Books
1 Greenwich South Street
LONDON  SE10 8NW
tel: 020 8305 2675  map
Open: 7 days 10.00 - 6.00.
Good secondhand & new books.
    Piles of books all over the place blocking many of the lower shelves. Back of shop a hive of Internet activity. - Clive Cheeseman.
     Situated next to an annexe of the University of Plymouth (yes, really) the stock appears to be mainly academic books which are no longer part of general coursework and have been replaced. A 'know-it-all' young man tried to waffle his way out of my questions as to holdings. There was nothing on the shelves of general interest. I won't return. - Chris Harte 12.08.09.

"Look upon books frankly as a vice, but one which leaves some respectable evidence of its pleasure to show for it."
