Who We Are
Neuron Gear is a specialist literary service based in London, founded in 2011 by Dr. Helena Ashworth. We help readers discover books that align with their interests, challenge their thinking, and enrich their understanding of the world.
Our team of eight literary experts brings decades of combined experience in literature, publishing, and education. We work with professionals, academics, students, and lifelong learners who want to read more thoughtfully and purposefully.
Whether you're looking for personalised book recommendations, structured reading programmes, or expert literary consultation, we're here to guide you. We believe reading should be both intellectually rewarding and genuinely enjoyable, and our services reflect that philosophy.
Finding Our Office
Our office is located in Bloomsbury, Central London, an area with a rich literary history and home to numerous publishers, bookshops, and cultural institutions.
By Underground
The nearest stations are Holborn (Central and Piccadilly lines) and Russell Square (Piccadilly line). Both are approximately a five-minute walk from our office. Exit onto Southampton Row and head towards Bloomsbury Square.
By Bus
Several bus routes serve the area, including the 1, 8, 19, 25, 38, 55, 98, and 242. The nearest stops are on Southampton Row and Theobald's Road.
By Train
Kings Cross St Pancras and Euston stations are both within walking distance (approximately 15 minutes) or a short bus journey away.
Parking
Limited street parking is available in the surrounding streets, though we recommend using public transport where possible. The nearest car park is on Bloomsbury Square itself.
Accessibility
Our office is located on the second floor of a Georgian building. Unfortunately, there is no lift access, so visitors should be prepared to use stairs. If mobility is a concern, please let us know in advance and we can arrange to meet you at a ground-floor location nearby or conduct consultations via video call.
Common Questions

We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day, usually faster. If you haven't heard from us within 48 hours, please check your spam folder or send a follow-up message.
Tell us a bit about your reading interests, what you're hoping to achieve, and which service you're considering. Don't worry about being too detailed—we'll have a proper conversation to understand your needs fully. Even a brief message like "I'm interested in book recommendations for history" is a fine starting point.
We offer a brief preliminary conversation at no charge to determine if we're the right fit for your needs and which service would work best. This isn't a full consultation but rather a chance for both parties to understand expectations and approach.
Yes, our team members occasionally give talks and workshops for organisations, libraries, and educational institutions. Contact us with details of your event and we'll let you know if we can accommodate your request.
