I’m so excited that BookBar, the fabulous bookshop and coffee/wine bar that made its name in Islington, has opened in Chelsea.
It’s a warm, vibrant space that will host author readings, wine nights and other events. BookBar’s ethos is all about bringing books and people together and this promises to be a fantastic community hub.
BookBar Owner, Chrissy Ryan, believes that reading is all about connection with other people. This welcoming space brings fresh energy to a neighbourhood filled with historic literary associations.
I’ve already spent an afternoon on the comfy green sofa with a book and a glass of bubbly… what could be better? Maybe spending a morning there with a cup of coffee and a chat about books.
BookBar is at 11 Chelsea Manor Street, just off the Kings Road, and is open every day. On Wednesday-Saturday, the shop is open until 9pm; perfect for a post-work repose.
