New independent bookshop for London

"Former Waterstone's booksellers Tim West and Simon Key have named their new Wood Green indie, The Big Green Bookshop. West and Key decided to open a shop in North London after Waterstone's closed down its shop in Wood Green. The pair ran a competition in Wood Green to name the bookshop, and sent competition forms to all the local schools. They received about 500 entries and "after heated debate and a few pints", the winning name was selected. "The choice made people come up with new ideas and concepts for the shop and has given the shop a brand," said Key. The shop is planned to open at the beginning of December"
