Friendly independent bookshop in Wood Green, just off the main road. (Despite the "Unit 1" in the address, the frontage is directly on Brampton Park Road.)

They have a decent SF section (although it has fantasy and horror mixed in), plus crime, general fiction, cookery, gardening, etc. Small London section (general London - didn't see anything particularly local). They also have a "multicultural" section, which appears to mean "books not by or about white people".

There is a sofa, and the owners are friendly. They seem to run quite a lot of events, including "meet the author" type things, reading groups, writing workshops, etc. If you don't see what you want on the shelves, they say they can get most titles within 24 hours; and they also have an out-of-print book search service.
