Promoting Peace Through Books, Research and Discussion Groups

Shantir Boi serves the local community through books – for buying, borrowing, reading and discussing. We have books in Arabic, Bengali, English, Somali, Sylheti and Turkish for sale, along with numerous other languages for borrowing. We have books on Christianity and Islam, history and biography, and some classic poetry particularly from Bangladesh.

We were on Fashion Street off Brick Lane for 10 years, but we’ve just moved into Husk Community Centre where Asha Community meet.

Previously, we have provided classes and discussion groups on different topics, as well as film and cultural events. We will aim to re-start these in Limehouse very soon.

We also provide teaching and discussion groups on different religious and social issues on some evenings during the week. We aim to be a positive and active presence in the heart of the Brick Lane area, as we live out the teachings of the prophets and Jesus the Messiah in word and deed.
