Donlon Books

Founded in 2008, this boutique bookshop in London Fields is known for its idiosyncratic selection of books and magazines covering art, photography, music and fashion, many of which are sourced directly from indie publishers and individual creators. Expect an in-the-know selection that’s heavy on critical theory and countercultures, as well as helpful advice and a good range of hard-to-find and out-of-print titles. And keep an eye on the shop’s Instagram to hear about upcoming events; it’s hosted book launches, talks and literary salons with the likes of Wolfgang Tillmans, David Armstrong, Eileen Myles, Worms Magazine and The Archive of Modern Conflict.
