 In August 2016 Lawrence & Wishart moved premises from Central Books in Hackney Wick, to a new premises in Chadwell Heath.The move was a result of a combination of increased rents within Hackney Wick due to gentrification and regeneration of the area due to the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park; and the convenience of the company to remain close to Central Books, who are also Lawrence & Wishart's distributor.The Marx/Engels Collected Works were published by Lawrence and Wishart, in collaboration with others, between 1975 and 2004 in 50 volumes, and is the most complete attempt at rendering their work in English.
