The Book Club

Tucked away on Leonard Street in Shoreditch, The Book Club is a vibrant hotspot that has cemented its place as one of East London’s go-to destinations. Housed in a former Victorian warehouse, its striking brick walls and large industrial-style windows create a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere. While the weekends see the basement transformed into a buzzing party space, upstairs, you’ll find a relaxed and friendly vibe perfect for catching up over delicious food and drinks.

The Book Club’s restaurant offers a casual yet stylish setting with a mix of long communal tables and coSy seating areas that invite groups to settle in and stay a while. Open from Wednesday to Saturday, it’s an ideal spot for midweek dinners or pre-night-out feasts. With warm lighting and eclectic décor, the space effortlessly combines Shoreditch’s creative charm with a fun and social ambiance.

The menu at The Book Club is all about freshly baked pizzas, and they’ve built a reputation for doing them exceptionally well - Elle Magazine even named them among the best pizzas in London. One standout is the Miele Piccante, featuring Italian pepperoni sausage, Napoli salami, and a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet and spicy kick. Another must-try is the Funghi é Tartufo, with creamy Fior di Latte mozzarella, sautéed chestnut mushrooms, and a drizzle of truffle oil, perfect for vegetarians with a love for bold flavours.

Drinks are just as much of a highlight here. The Book Club takes its cocktails seriously, offering a mix of classic and creative concoctions that pair perfectly with their food. Whether you’re sipping on a Polar Espresso Martini or indulging in a Long Island Iced Tea, it’s the ideal spot to catch up with friends over drinks that are as playful as they are delicious.
