Wayward Books

Wayward Books is a little shop full of wonders, nestled in between several cafes in Kensington.

Catering for a wide range of interests, customers can browse the shelves to find books to stretch the mind and satisfy their eclectic and individual preferences. This small secondhand bookshop offers a smattering of new books - mainly children's but with others that catch their fancy. They focus on quality, content and condition.

The store hosts regular events for book lovers, like ‘Story Time’ and the weekly ‘Words at Wayward’ where all are welcome to share their poems, stories and more.
