London Street Bookshop

Tucked into Lyttelton’s vibrant London Street, London Street Bookshop is a much-loved second-hand bookstore with shelves packed tightly with discoveries. Its thoughtfully chosen collection has a particular strength in novels and poetry, alongside classics, New Zealand writing and other literary finds. The small, characterful shop also holds vintage maps and postcards, adding another layer of interest for collectors and browsers. Whether you are seeking a favourite author, an affordable old edition or simply a book to enjoy beside the harbour, it is a lovely place to lose track of time.
