City Books
On Western Road in Hove, City Books is an independent bookshop run by Paul and Inge Sweetman. Arranged over two floors, it offers a carefully selected range of books, with an especially broad choice of titles about the local area. Its shelves span subjects from fiction and children’s books to history, nature writing, art and food. The shop is also a place for readers to meet authors and hear them speak: City Books hosts regular literary evenings, with guests from across the literary and cultural world. Its story is rooted in the Brunswick neighbourhood, where it has become a familiar part of Hove’s book-loving community. Whether browsing for a particular subject or simply seeing what catches the eye, visitors will find an independent shop with room for both considered recommendations and discovery.
