Firsts London is one of the most popular and prestigious rare book fairs in the world. Whether you're a collector looking for the next masterpiece to add to your library, or a bibliophile who loves browsing second-hand classics, Firsts London is the event for you. Discover titles by distinguished authors, ephemera from celebrity readers and manuscripts from history's great moments, all in the heart of Chelsea.

Our theme for Firsts 2025 is Books in Bloom. From the herbalist’s drive to classify plant species, to the binder’s eye for the sinuous vine in a decorative motif, books and botanicals have a long and intertwined history. At Firsts London 2025, we join the celebration of all things horticultural that sweeps along the Kings Road ahead of the iconic Chelsea Flower Show, offering a new bookish angle on this floral festival.
