Our handsome double-fronted bookshop is located half way up on the right of Micklegate, as you come over Ouse Bridge.

It leads to Micklegate Bar which was the most important of York’s four main medieval gateways and the focus for grand events. The name comes from 'Micklelith', meaning great street.

Opening hours:

9.00am - 5.30pm Mon - Sat

There is on-street parking right outside our door - a rarity for York!
