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

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.

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.

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.
