East Dulwich Book Swap - Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at The Clockhouse


Recommended Posts

I was going to suggest that there is a maximum of say, 5 books brought as otherwise we end up with a big pile on the table that no one wants again. Last time a couple of good souls volunteered to take the unwanted pile to charity as everyone else had left and we didn't feel we could just leave them on the table.

Either that or take away the books you bring that don't get taken by anyone else, or make sure you take away the same number that you brought.

Can't wait for this again. I think the limit idea is probably sensible.


I'll put a bid in for the Gowlett - cos I'm lazy. We also talked about swapping round the night of the week. How about Thursday, 23rd Oct?

I think Asset's idea about taking away the books you brought that no-one wants is good, but inevitably there will be people who leave early, and therefore some flotsam and jetsam to sweep up. Therefore if we keep a 5-book limit too, that would be reduced.


Gowlett works for me but the Clockhouse might be good if we can book the little mezzanine, as we can spread the books out on the table for people to rummage through. Happy to book it if anyone agrees.

Let's say Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at the Clockhouse then. I'll change the title of the thread later today unless there is a mutiny in the next few hours.


Rules are you can bring a maximum of 5 books, so those who stay longest aren't lumbered with 27 copies of the Book Thief come the end of the night.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
