Al-Saqi Books bids London farewell
For more than four decades, Al-Saqi bookshop in West London has been the leading Arabic language book store in Europe.
It was opened in 1978, by a group of people who'd escaped the civil war in Lebanon. They created a unique place for anyone interested in the Arab world and Arab culture.
Newshour’s Razia Iqbal has been to speak to the family at the heart of Al-Saqi.
