Our mission is to foster a community of book lovers who cherish freedom of speech and British values.
Oldspeak stands for the West’s core: Orwell on liberty, Scruton on tradition, Starkey on our past.
British roots, Western strength, all in one place.
We’re more than a bookshop - we’re a home for conservative thought.

It is wonderful - such a great selection and a beautiful spot to read upstairs which I will sit in for hours at some point. Jo’s inspiration has come to such fabulous fruition.

A wonderful shop and a lovely corrective to some of the dross leftie stuff in many bookshops. I saw a lot of Scruton and other wonderful works, and Jo the proprietor was just lovely!

Radical with Amol Rajan & Dr James Orr
Ever since Labour won a landslide victory at the general election, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party and Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives have been fighting for the soul of the political right in Britain. Now a new right-wing think tank is putting together a suite of potential policies for a future Reform government. Dr James Orr, an associate professor of the philosophy of religion at Cambridge University and friend of US Vice President JD Vance, chairs the advisory board of that new think tank - the Centre for a Better Britain (CBB).
