With no books queued up it was time for some re-stocking. One of the bookshops I like to visit is Kirkdale Bookshop in Sydenham, South London. Door to door it’s less than an hour away on the train.
I always head for the second-hand fiction books at the back of the shop, but there are also new books at the front of the shop and a vast number of second-hand, non-fiction books in the basement.
I was fairly successful with my restocking!
Afterwards, I failed to get some sustenance at The Moustache café, half a mile from the bookshop – it was closed & shuttered despite a sign indicating it was open Thursday to Sunday.
So, returning to the bookshop, the nearby Cobb’s Corner Cafe is just a few doors down and was very pleasant and worth revisiting the next time I’m shopping for books. (A geezer ordered a milky coffee, which amused me).
