A new bookshop from Second Home's Rohan Silva and Sam Aldenton will force you to turn off your phone, sit down, and read a physical book.

Libreria will have a no-phones policy so there are no distractions from the finely curated selection of books which fill the walls of the shop.

Located next to Second Home, the shared space for entrepreneurs and creative businesses, Libreria is designed to be a bulwark against digital distractions, and the space will also feature in-depth seminars, workshops, gigs and performances.
