Oxfam Books & Music Islington

Oxfam is the UK's largest second hand bookseller. At Islington Books we sell a wide variety of fiction (including comics and graphic novels) non-fiction, film and music across 2 floors.

We specialise in literature, poetry, contemporary fiction and art - as well as having a lovely ground floor children's section and a comprehensive first floor academic offering, including French fiction.

We also offer a well curated selection of sheet music, DVDS, CDs & vinyl and have a dedicated classical music section. We also hold talks and events which you can keep up to date with via our Instagram (oxfambooksN1). All our stock is donated.

Due to storage and parking issues, if you have more than a couple of bags to donate we would be really grateful if you could give us a call to arrange a suitable time to drop off your donation.
