Claret Press

Great storytelling doesn’t just entertain, it energises.

We are a small, independent and traditional press located in Clapham. We’re London-based and the majority of our books are about Britain. But our memoirs and travelogues take you around the world. So do many of our thrillers.

We publish page turners about politics. We grapple and engage, move and disturb, inform and entertain. We believe that protecting and promoting human rights, common decency and democracy safeguards our values and our future.
