Karen and Anders, a Danish brother and sister duo started this book café near the roundabout at Green Man in Leytonstone with a view to spreading their love for both books and coffee among the locals.
The name evolved from the love and passion of the siblings for all things readable. They will welcome you with love, understanding, a sympathetic ear, and a hot brew. You will be offered a choice of books from a carefully selected collection of books in all genres including fiction, poetry, literature, science, and even children’s illustrated books. Be prepared to see names like Sheldon and Asimov alongside Enid Blyton and Grimm.
The ambience is subtle and offers a cozy place to read. The premises are in the same building as the non-profit Radio station East London Radio. The Radio station is in the back while All You Read is Love occupies the front space.
There is also a bar in the bookshop if you fancy something stronger with your reading. They also serve fresh homemade bakes and snacks for those who like to nibble while they read.
All You Read is Love has a book club that hosts numerous events for patrons. Some of the most popular events of the past include “A Ghost Story for Christmas” which included screenings of the works of M.R. James, The Ultimate Winter Warmers, a wine tasting event during the winter months, and a Literary Quiz. There are also special events for kids when school is out, live music nights, cooking events, and a number of workshops.
All You Read is Love popped up in Central London on Hoe Street for three fun filled weeks in 2014. The success of this event has inspired many more so be on the lookout.
