Caravansérail is a gorgeous bilingual bookshop, cultural and gallery area Situated in London’s Brick Lane, that supplies an excellent aray of all adult and children’s names in both French and English. Head there to locate your new grab and read a java surrounded shelving by amazing publications and art. The shop front is spectacular (the blue is indeed inviting and striking) and their signage and branding is magnificent.
Co-owners Laura and Anne have hosted events including writers, musicians and artists, cementing themselves as a heart within the area since opening in September 2017.
There’s something for everyone in the shop, from the assortment of fiction that is translated — a focal point for Laura, or a curated collection of titles selected by a chef.
We caught up together with Laura and Anne and asked them several questions:
1. Congratulations on being chosen as our February Bookshop of the Month! We have talked a little on the shop and you but how can you describe Caravansérail in words?
A house for vehicles.
2. Where is your favourite spot in the shop?
The children’s nook! A place to escape and shield in the city’s buzz. A perfect spot to read, not or whether you are with children.
3. Where do you like to read?
Anne: in the wilderness! I used to live around Canada’s West coast and also my favourite spot has been that you can access from train. A heaven lost between forest, mountains and river. Comfortably seated on the porch of a cottage, a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, a book in the other… and not too far off a bowl of freshly picked blueberries. Sublime!
Laura: nothing beats the mixture of reading and fireplace for me, wherever it can be.
4. If you were not a bookseller what would you be?
Anne: aside from Caravansérail, I’m running a artist residency and an artists agency. Supporting and encouraging emerging artists’ work is the definite of those three activities.
Laura: I’d probably be doing some thing in publishing.
5. Excluding Caravansérail — what is your favourite bookshop?
Anne: that I really like surfing the beautiful bookshops from the Quartier latin in Paris — a day well spent!
Laura: without hesitation Daunt Books, Marylebone.
