Heron Books

We are an independent bookshop established in October 2022. We first set up in the historic Clifton Arcade in Bristol and have recently moved to larger (but still cosy!) premises at 7a Regent Street, Clifton. We love nothing more than talking about books. If the book features a heron, all the better. 

 

Open: Monday-Saturday, 09.30-17.30, Sunday 11:00-16:00.
