Heron Books opens to become Bristol’s smallest bookshop
Lizzie Moss had a steady stream of well-wishers on Saturday as the doors of her bookshop opened for the first time.
Heron Books in the Clifton Arcade off Boyce’s Avenue in Clifton Village now has the distinction of being Bristol’s smallest bookshop.
But it might not hold the crown for long, with talk of even smaller bookshop planning to open soon in St George.

Former teacher and Waterstones manager Lizzie, who lives in Bishopsworth, has opened Clifton’s only independent bookshop, which stocks a range of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books within its cosy space.
Lizzie can offer personal recommendations, has plans to run events and book groups, and even promises to deliver books to customers personally if they live near enough for her to cycle.
