The London Bookshop Crawl 2025 invites book lovers to explore the city's bookshops independently or with friends using a Self-Guided Bookshop Crawl Kit, available online. For a more social experience, Group Bookshop Crawls offer a chance to meet fellow readers while discovering new bookshops. 

Looking to support independent bookshops and bring together avid readers, the London Bookshop Crawls cover different parts of London this weekend, encouraging participants to buy books without judgement. With the weather sticking firmly to February gloom, the sociable event is perfect for going from bookshop to bookshop, huddling up in cosy nooks and crannies, and building out your reading list for the rest of the year.

Different bookshop crawls are organised this year, including special groups for solo bookshop crawlers, providing a welcoming space to meet others attending alone. In addition to the crawls, the event also features other literary gatherings, as well as an online programme.

If you want to join in one of the guided bookshop crawls, you can, ahem, book your spot here, while those who prefer to go their own way can download the Self-Guided Bookshop Crawl Kit here.
