The Faces
Behind Tertulia 
Co-owner Neil Paul, born in London, of Irish parents, brought up in Pimlico, around the corner from the Houses of Parliament. As a child Neil played in (the grounds of) Buckingham Palace with the servants’ children who went to the same school.
Co-owner Brid Conroy, born in Dublin city centre, also of Irish parents, developed a love of books from early on. Brid’s grandmother sent her on twice weekly visits to Capel St Library to seek out any Mills and Boons books her Nanna hadn’t yet read.
We are passionate about engaging with people – feeling part of something.
We all want to feel part of something and our bookshop is a way of reaching out to people, providing a forum for stretching our assumptions about the world. It might be something as simple as a book club, a place to enjoy a coffee, a glass of wine, a conversation, or losing yourself in a great book. Whatever it is, you will find it here at Tertulia.
