Attic Book's Story
The store originally opened in 1976 on the top floor of a building on Richmond St., which currently houses Bob Burke Jewellers. It then moved to an upper floor space on Clarence St. These locations lent themselves well to the shop’s name. In the 1980s, development in downtown London forced Attic Books out of its location, and it reopened in Parkhill, Ontario. In 1996, mayor Diane Haskett worked with proprietor Marvin Post to bring Attic Books back to London, Ontario. It is now one of the few longstanding destination businesses in downtown London.
