The Book Lounge

The Book Lounge

Cape Town's best-known independent bookshop, on the corner of Roeland and Buitenkant, with a basement that hosts launches most weeks.

Browse a deep South African and African fiction section upstairs, then take the stairs down for children's books and events.

Local tip: Launches usually start at 17:30 on weeknights and are free to attend; the diary is listed on the shop's website.
