ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP
Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.
Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.
THE CAKE SHOP
Surrounded by books and fragrant with tea, the London Review Cake Shop is the modern answer to London’s long-lost literary coffee-houses. Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.
The London Review Bookshop and Cake Shop are open Monday- Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6.30 p.m. The Bookshop is also open on Sunday, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.

So great to have these two amazing women in conversation! Thank you, LRB.

VG. I have long wanted to ask Mary Beard why the boys cannot keep up with Atalanta and need divine assistance to do so. She was also the first of the heroes to cast a spear in a famous boar hunt.

A lower voice is more audible. It enunciates & projects better than a person having to raise their voice. My mother, an actress & voice coach, taught me that from the time I started speaking. I recently tried to very slightly raise my pitch, & I'm still waiting for my larynx to forgive me 😊 Oddly, though, I can easily get into soprano range if singing ... 🤔

They spoke the truth and you don't like it. Oh well.

[@user-mi7zx2ki5o]

@@RandomPlayIist Yes , the truth is subjective however. The facts of course are objective. Perhaps your English is not terribly good. A state school education perhaps. Oh well.

@@RandomPlayIist Booked sucked ass. She referenced Hillary Clinton as a women of power lol. The Same Hillary Clinton that ruined Monica Lewinsky's life all because her Husband had an affair with a much younger woman and it was Hillary that defended her Husband......Jeeee how powerful that was...Hillary who also lied about the Attacks in Benghazi in 2012. Referencing a random KZbin video as the cause for the attack. When it turns out that was also a massive lie. She wasn't a woman of power she rode on the coat tail of her husband. Crappy leader if you even wanna Call her that.
