British Heart Foundation Bookshop

This is one of the most fantastic bookshops I’ve been in, let alone one of the best charity bookshops! The range and variety of books in here is amazing, there are so many to choose from and a vast array of genres are covered.
The prices are good and the store is a nice size located on Streatham High Road, close to the Streatham Hill overground station, about a fifteen minute bus ride from Brixton tube and train station and on the bus route for lots of buses.

Oh my god. I love this shop so, so very much. So many books, all crammed into a relatively little shop. And decent books, too. They do music and films too, but it’s the books I want. Beautiful, beautiful books. I actually found some text books for my MSc reading list in here. And at about 10% of the price they would be online.
The staff are so helpful and friendly. I can’t help but duck in every time I go past. And I always, always find something to buy. I spent about £150 in there in the space of a month.
Long live BHF, and long live our BHF bookshop!

Rare indeed, great girls running it, sometimes have to put up with more than they should, but not over priced, as some charity shops have become and some lovely bits in there, quite an Aladdins cave!

This British Heart Foundation charity shop is a rare find! Specialising in books and music, it has a quick turnover of donations guaranteeing quality merchandise. Quite a hot spot on those lazy Sunday mornings when local people pack it out, idly looking though rare vinyl and browsing the paperbacks.
It’s not unusual to find mint condition Bruce Springsteen vinyl records, and mint condition hard back Stephen King novels, for just a pound or two.
The shop has a good childrens selection of books near the back of the store, and several chairs for them to sit on whilst they browse. The store also has a large selection of classic literature books from the early 1900’s which are very special to look at.
A clean and welcoming charity shop that doesn’t overcharge. They’re always on the lookout for good, clean books and music. Bargain videos to be found these days, too, plus numerous DVDs and sheet music. Worth a visit if you’re passing!
