Welcome to The Word, a cosy, buzzing independent bookshop in New Cross, SE14.

We operate an order-&-collect service (sorry, we don’t offer postage).

Don’t worry if it’s showing as out of stock, we’ll order it in for you.

If you want a delivery service, and a wider selection of books, please visit our Bookshop.org profile HERE. To support us through Bookshop.org, please look for books in the search field on our profile page (you’ll stay on our profile throughout your visit) – this way we get more income from your transaction.

Please note – we don’t deal with the transactions or dispatch of any books – this is all handled by Bookshop.org.

And, if there’s anything you want that you can’t find, please call 020 8355 9378

We’re open

Monday>Friday: 10am>6pm

Saturday: 10am>5pm

Sunday: 12pm>5pm
