This lovingly designed and remarkably well-stocked book swap is on Shirley Grove – at the very south eastern corner of the Shaftesbury Estate.

There’s a note – “During the COVID period please feel free to use the bookswap for other items you think people might need and feel free to take those without swapping if you need them. Please note that this is quite a sunny spot so things like chocolate will melt”.

We don’t know who has built and installed it, but we salute their public spiritedness!
