What Visitors Say
Visited in May 2026. Came to London on purpose. Told it's closed for renovation until the autumn. They can't even be bothered to put a notice on their website. Disappointing
Easy to find. Great selection of titles at the bookshop. Staff were friendly and the place was clean and cool - nice escape from the scorching sun outside last week!
A great place for inspiring talks and book promotions. Promoting Russian and Ukrainian cultures. A great selection of drinks in the bar, I recommend a Pravda shot either lemon juice.
Great venue, central location. They organize many unique and engaging events throughout the year (some in English others in Russian). They also have a great bookshop.
Great selection of events covering topics such as art, literature, economy, politics and more! Also the new bar is super cozy, I love it!
