Looking to join a book club? You’ll be spoilt for choice: these days bookworms are gathering in pubs, parks, bookshops and trendy venues across the city. Whether you’re into non-fiction, contemporary literature or the classics, there’s something for everyone. Here are some of the best book clubs in London…
The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries
Rebel Book Club
Founders Ben Keene and Ben Saul-Garner set up Rebel Book Club after noticing a gap in the market for non-fiction focused book clubs. They now have over 500 members, with meet-ups taking place monthly. Every month you’ll be sent a voucher for a non-fiction book, which you’ll discuss with other members at while sipping on book-inspired cocktails at a unique venue – previous events have been held at places like Airbnb’s HQ and Virgin’s Rooftop. Sometimes the author will be present, either via Skype call or in person, with upcoming themes including digital minimalism, religion, mortality in the modern world and personal finance. rebelbookclub.co.uk
Emily’s Walking Book Club
Each month, journalist and writer Emily Rhodes leads a group of book lovers around Hampstead Heath – come rain or shine. The thinking behind it is you’re more relaxed when walking, so conversation flows better. Books up for discussion are planned in advance, but there’s no need to reserve a place, just don your hiking boots and turn up to Daunt Books in Hampstead, the starting point for your hearty walk. emilyrhodeswriter.com
Brixton Book Group
A friendly, informal book club, Brixton Book Club has been going strong for years. Members meet in a pub in Brixton once a month, where they’ll chat about a wide range of books – all are welcome to pitch suggestions. brixtonbookgroup.com
The Best Self-Improvement Books
Black Girl Book Club
Join founding friends Jordan and Lauren for monthly discussions about race, gender and pop culture at Black Girl Book Club. Discussions focus around books or essays by, for or about women of colour, with appearances from the likes of Malorie Blackman and June Sarpong. blackgirlbookclub.co
Pages of Hackney
An independent book shop opened over 10 years ago, Pages of Hackney has scooped up a number of awards over the years. Alongside its impressive collection of books – which includes a carefully curated selection of vintage numbers – they run a popular monthly book club, as well as various author events. pagesofhackney.co.uk
Clapham Girls Book Club
Just moved to Clapham and looking for some new pals? Clapham Girls Book Club is the place for you. They organise monthly meet-ups, where you’ll discuss a chosen book, with past events focusing on novels like This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay, Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult, and The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. But it’s not all about the books – there are also casual social events, designed to encourage Clapham ladies to bond outside of literature discussions over cocktails or brunch. meetup.com
