Newham Bookshop is less than ten minutes’ walk from Upton Park tube station on the District and the Hammersmith & City lines. Turn right out of the station along Green Street. Walk past where West Ham’s Boleyn ground used to be on the left until you get to the traffic lights. The World Cup Champions statue is straight ahead. Turn right on to Barking Road — we are a few yards along on the right.

Buses 5, 58, 104, 115, 147, 330 and 376 all pass close by. There is limited parking for non-residents in the side streets close to the Bookshop.

Use Transport for London’s Journey Planner (tfl.gov.uk) to find your way to Newham Bookshop.
