Special relativity is first year physics stuff, so it's only a slight creep up from what you learn at A-level.
General relativity is the tough one with four-vectors and the likes. I'm nearing the end of 3rd year physics and have still barely touched on the subject. It was nestled in at the end of my advanced mechanics course and I hated it, haha. It's an advanced topic in its own right.

Yeah I think I'll steer well clear of GR for a while lol. The reason why I asked for a book without many equations is because I'm not going to study physics so I don't need to know the math behind it, I just want to learn about it as a topic of future interest.
Perhaps you can help me with a previous thread I made? Sorry to trouble you but if you could read the thread and give me some insights I would be really grateful

Are there any good books you can recommend that teach more than the basics, but do not flood the reader with equations?
Is it possible to understand SR without first learning electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, tensors, differential geometry etc?
Yes, it is possible. What you are describing are more applications of SR, than the concepts themselves (though you really will only need tensors and differential geometry for general relativity, if you're just starting to learn this stuff).
Try to read up on the somewhat-misnamed Bondi k-calculus, which is a more straightforward approach than the usual Lorentz-transform-Minkowski-space stuff that you usually see.
