About

It’s part of the dense Sydenham op-shop run — easy to combine with Salvation Army Carlyle Street, St John Colombo Street, Habitat ReStore on Waltham Road and SPCA on Colombo.

Open Monday–Saturday 10am–4pm. Proceeds fund City Mission community work. If you’re specifically hunting used books in Sydenham, start here then fan out along the Colombo / Waltham corridor.
