I am all for more shops like Camden Lock Books popping up in tube stations. In fact, I really don't…read morethink that tube stations are properly represented for shops. What about the people who don't want to walk up the steps to the outside - they want to make all their purchases within the station?
Thankfully, there are not many of those underground dwellers about, and I am certainly not one of them - but I do find myself often waiting for my friends to turn up on later trains here at Old Street tube, and instead of saying "I will meet you outside the cold, wet tube station', why not spend some time in this book shop instead?
Camden Lock Books is small, but simply stacked with books. They specialise in new books which are in print, but will gladly track down any older books on request. While the books were mainly all full price, there was a stand with many books on offer. Some had dropped from £7.99 to £2.99. They don't mind browsers, which was clearly what I was. I found Newspaper Bags on sale here- these are the bags made out of newspapers by Indian street children. They cost 50p and the money goes straight back to the charity. I brought a few, and I encourage you all to do the same!
