As London locks down in response to COVID-19 independent bookshops are responding to an almost overnight drop in sales in inventive ways, from offering home delivery, leaving books outside the shop for pre-arranged collection, or sending out packages to society’s most vulnerable. Here at the London Society we’ve rounded up a selection of the capital’s independent bookshops who are offering home delivery, so you can still get your fix of architectural books from the comfort of your own home.
