About us (and FAQs). Opened in 2021, The Common Press used to be known as Glass House. We are a Community Interest Company (CIC)as of July 2024. The Common Press is a consciously intersectional bookshop and café celebrating writing by queer people and people of colour. Since launching we've gone from strength to strength, receiving warm reviews in National media and collaborating with an amazing range of performers, musicians, artists, and writers to create a space which serves marginalised communities across all of London. Above all, we've been welcomed by so many people here in Shoreditch who have made the site a second home, and we couldn't be more grateful for their support. If you have any questions about the project, you can get in touch with us here - or scroll down, we might have answered them below! FAQs: What are your opening times? The bookshop is open Tuesday - Sunday from 11 am to 6: 30pm. We are open from 7pm until late for a range of events and private hire. Sadly our events space is currently under construction and not available. Can I run an event with you? Absolutely! We run a huge range of events: book launches, club nights, private parties, burlesque lessons - you name it! You can find out more about working with us here. Is The Common Press wheelchair accessible? The Common Press bookshop is entirely wheelchair accessible and also has accessible toilets. Unfortunately, the events space is in the basement and is not currently wheelchair accessible. We are actively exploring solutions for this. A lot of our events take place in the bookshop if you aren't sure whether an event is wheelchair accessible, drop us an email. Is The Common Press dog friendly? Yes. Both service animals and pets are welcome throughout the site. I have published a book. Can you stock it? The Common Press stocks a lot of books from small and independent presses and self-published authors. All stocking decisions are at the discretion of the manager - please get in touch using the contact form , and include as much information about your book as possible. I would like to work at The Common Press. Do you have any vacancies? We aren't able to update this page with openings in real time - it's a good idea to keep an eye on our instagram page where we usually post about hiring, or send us an email with a cover letter and CV attached. We don't always have time to respond to unsolicited emails, so if you don't hear back from us within two weeks unfortunately we don't have a suitable position for you at this time, but your CV will be kept on file in case one opens for as long as data protection permits.

Terms and Conditions for Event Organisers Thank you for coordinating an event with The Common Press! We're thrilled about our collaboration and the opportunity to bring your vision to life. Hosting an event or session at The Common Press is always a joy for both attendees and organizers. The safety and security of our staff and customers are our top priorities, and by hosting an event with us, you agree to the following terms, conditions, and cancellation policy. By hosting an event, session, workshop, or movement class at The Common Press, you agree to the following terms and conditions: Organiser Responsibilities In advance of my event, I agree and confirm: I will arrive at least 1 hour (recommended) or 30 minutes before my event start times to do any setup required. I understand it is my responsibility to provide the number of guests attending the event at least 48 hours in advance and provide any tech or setup requirements no later than 72 hours before my event. If I fail to provide relevant information or details in advance I understand that whilst staff will try to accommodate changes, it is not guaranteed that changes will be made on the day. I understand that running my event on the day is my responsibility and staff members are only able to assist with book sales, providing beverages, and assisting with basic tech support as I understand they are not sound technicians. For live music events, cabaret, and any event with performers, I will pay for a sound technician (agreed by staff) or have people available to support the night. I am responsible for checking and welcoming my guests as well as starting and ending my event or session on time. Myself and all other external organizers associated with my event will treat both the staff and customers of The Common Press with respect and courtesy. Myself and all other external organizers associated with my event will treat the premises with appropriate care and will not damage the premises or its equipment. Any necessary tech support will be provided by a member of the staff. I will pay the agreed hire fee + VAT at least 1 week before my event or session unless a prior agreement has been made with the management team. If you require a longer payment date, please inform us. Prohibited Items I understand that the following items are prohibited throughout The Common Press, and I will not bring them onto the site: Open flames, candles, and incense sticks. Fog machines, misters, or any equipment with the potential to trigger standard fire alarms. Recreational drugs. Blades and other items that could be used as offensive weapons. Alcohol unless agreed upon by prior arrangement with the management. Equipment and Liability I guarantee that any electrical equipment brought onto the premises is safe to use, and The Common Press will not be held liable for unsafe equipment. I understand that if the terms of this agreement are broken, my event may be canceled, and event organizers asked to leave. I will still be required to pay any agreed hire fees or similar. I also understand that I may be liable for the cost of repairs if any damages occur as a result of my event. Cleanliness / Tidying up As the organizer, I will not leave the premises in an unclean or messy condition. I will take away and remove all the items I brought in and I will dispose of rubbish in the bins provided. The Common Press is not liable for any property left on-site or unattended. I understand that if any part of the site is left in an inappropriate condition, this will be documented, and there will be a cleaning charge of at least £100. Safety My guests and I will pay attention to any communication from staff during my event and will respond appropriately. In the unlikely event of an emergency, my guests and I will follow staff instructions and evacuate the premises according to their directions. Time Management I understand that events are booked in allocated hourly slots, and if my event overruns, this can impact other customers. If I anticipate my event will overrun, I will find a member of staff and check whether this can be accommodated. If I fail to do this, The Common Press will charge a late fee of 1.5x the hourly rate for each hour my event runs over. I further understand that The Common Press closes at 10 pm unless otherwise stated, and if my event goes past 10 pm, The Common Press will add a non-negotiable fee of £20 for every 10 minutes added to my booking. Marketing and Media Use I understand that it is my responsibility to provide any event poster and ticket links to The Common Press to assist with social media promotion as soon as possible and no later than 10 days before my event. I am aware The Common Press is not responsible for marketing by event, and I will tag the relevant social media channels for reposts. I understand it is not guaranteed that my event will be shared on the grid. I am aware that The Common Press may take photographs or videos of the event happening, and these may be used on social media to promote the event and the venue. I agree that if I do not want the use of any media, I will confirm in writing. I will also notify The Common Press team if any guests do not want their photos or videos taken. Ethical Partnership & Shared Values Policy At our event space, we are committed to fostering respectful, transparent, and mutually supportive relationships with all partners, collaborators, and guests. We believe that successful events are built on trust, clear communication, and shared values. In light of the ongoing situation in Palestine, which the United Nations has described as a genocide, we want to ensure that our values are aligned with those of the individuals and organisations we work with. Our intention in asking is to make sure that our work and partnerships reflect shared commitments to anti-apartheid, anti-colonialism, anti-zionism, anti-fascism, justice, liberation, and compassion. As part of this commitment, we ask all partners to uphold the following principles when working with us : Respect & Inclusivity: Treat all team members, guests, and collaborators with respect.

Collaboration & Accountability: Approach challenges cooperatively and take responsibility for decisions, actions, and use of the venue. Wellbeing & Safety: Support a safe and healthy environment by following all relevant health, safety, and safeguarding guidelines. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policies I acknowledge that if I cancel my event within 7 days of its planned date, there will be no refund, but alternative dates to reschedule within 6 months will be offered. I will have to pay the hire fee for canceling if I do not want to reschedule the event. We reserve the right to withdraw from or cancel an event should organisers or partners fail to align with our shared values and ethical principles. I confirm that i have read and understand all the terms and conditions above and by also booking an event or session at The Common Press i have agreed to the terms.
