Hampton Bookshop

Hampton Bookshop The Book Shop is run entirely by volunteers. The shop receives donations from the public which are sold on site and the proceeds donated to charity.

Fundraising for charities is the aim of The Book Shop in Ashley Road, Hampton, as it has been for over 35 years. In 2010/2011 it raised over £5,000 which it shared between charities including; Teddington Hospital, Princess Alice Hospice, The Alzheimer’s Society and Hearing Dogs for the Deaf. The shop is conveniently situated in the heart of the village outside Hampton station and is packed with a

wide range of books. It is a little gem; on its shelves you will find a selection of novels, thrillers, historical fiction, the classics and lots of books for children. Why not pay them a visit, who knows what treasures you could find? It is open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10.30 until 5pm. Wednesday, 10.30 until 12.30 and Saturday 10.30 until 3pm.The shop is entirely staffed by a team of friendly volunteers, mostly retired folk who give their time willingly for such good causes.

Two things can be true at the same time but saying you are supporting local charities might sound better than im addicted to buying books! But then with such good prices here you can never really overspend!

Lots of new donations in for you to browse. See anything you like? Pop by before it goes!
