After installing a ramp, our main trading floor is now accessible! We have a wide, manoeuvrable space with an even-surfaced floor. Our basement floor, however, requires you to go down 14 steps to access. We have two toilets in the basement, and there is also a fully accessible toilet in an adjourning building that we can help you reach.

We have adjustable lighting which is typically kept quite bright. We have lots of available seating.
During trading hours, we have free tea and coffee plus snacks available to all visitors.
I've published a book! Will you stock it?
Maybe! For us to decide, please send as much information as possible to info@scarlettletters.co.uk.
Please note that we are a small bookshop and aim to be intentional about the stock we sell, prioritising marginalised voices.
