I’m on the hunt for London bookshops that offer remaindered stock! I have a deep appreciation for books—both old and new—but what truly excites me is discovering a brand-new book at a bargain price.
Recently, while exploring the Brunswick Bookshop in Bloomsbury, I stumbled upon several titles priced at just £5 instead of the usual £10.99. Turns out, they were remaindered stock! I also spent a considerable amount of time at Judd Books, where I noticed they carry both new and second-hand titles. Some of their new books were priced around £4, so they might also be part of their remaindered selection.
I’m curious to know which other London bookstores offer new books at such reasonable prices. Additionally, I’m always on the lookout for great second-hand bookstores, or really any bookshops in London that you adore! Extra points if they have remaindered stock, a solid second-hand collection, or a fantastic selection of science books—especially in areas like biology, genetics, or botany. It seems many shops lean toward the arts, so I’d love to find one that caters to science enthusiasts!
It sounds like you’re on a great quest for treasure in London’s bookshops! There are definitely a few places you should check out for remaindered and second-hand stock, especially focusing on science subjects.
Book Warehouse – Located in various spots, they often have a selection of remaindered books at great prices. It’s worth popping in to see what they have in the science section.
Foyles – Their Charing Cross Road branch has a fantastic selection of both new and remaindered books, and they often have a dedicated science section. While they can sometimes be pricier, keep an eye on their clearance sections!
The London Review Bookshop – Although they specialize more in literary fiction and non-fiction, they occasionally have remaindered books and an excellent selection of titles on various subjects, including science.
Oxfam Bookshop – Locations like the one on Bloomsbury Street often have a good mix of second-hand books, including academic titles on science and nature. Plus, your purchase helps a great cause!
Any Amount of Books – Located in the heart of Covent Garden, this lovely second-hand bookshop often has a good collection of science titles. It’s a cozy spot to spend some time browsing.
The Big Green Bookshop – If you venture a bit further out to Wood Green, this community-focused bookshop has a variety of new and sometimes remaindered stock, along with a decent selection of second-hand books.
Waterstones (various locations) – Some of their stores, particularly the Piccadilly one, might have a section for marked-down books or special sales where you can find fantastic deals.
For specifically science-focused second-hand titles, keep an eye on local charity shops or fairs which often have fantastic finds as well. Happy book hunting!
