About

A free book exchange at the London Literature Festival invites visitors to leave one book and choose another, with fiction, poetry, memoir and children’s titles welcome.

The Book Swap takes place in the Blue Side Foyer on Level 2 of Royal Festival Hall. Visitors may bring one book and take one home, leaving a short recommendation for the next reader. It runs from 21 October to 1 November, 10:00–20:00, with the foyer activity closed on 26 and 27 October while the hall is shut. Free entry; no ticket is required.
