Charity shops in London

  • 855 shops
  • 605 charity
  • 250 book & second-hand
  • 27 walking routes
  • within 16 km of the centre

London is less one hunting ground than fifty — every high street keeps its own circuit of charity shops, and the stock shifts with the neighbourhood. Book-dedicated charity shops cluster in the well-read postcodes, and turnover is fast enough that the same shelf rarely looks the same twice.

Chains with several branches: Oxfam (15) · Cancer Research (6) · Mind (6) · Shelter (4)

Book hunting in London

Nearest-first is a decent route plan on its own: cluster your visits, start with the shops closest to each other, and save the outliers for days you're passing anyway. Charity shops re-shelve constantly, most put new donations out every day or two, so a shop that was quiet on Saturday can be a different shop by Wednesday. Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons, and it's always worth asking a volunteer when the book trolley comes out.

If you want the odds on your side, read our guides to finding good books in charity shops and spotting the books worth grabbing before you set out.
