The Bookshop in Helston

Welcome to The Bookshop in Helston, mainland Britain’s southernmost bookshop! You can find us at 77 Meneage Street in the ancient Cornish town of Helston, the gateway to The Lizard peninsula, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Helston has a gorgeous array of independent shops and cafes, an arts centre, a thriving museum, theatre space and much more. Helston is handily placed between Falmouth and Penzance, with plenty of parking just behind the two main shopping streets.  

The Bookshop offers a diverse range of fiction, children’s, history, art and music, local interest, travel (including maps) and nature writing. Anything not on the shelves, including secondhand, can be ordered in.
