Finding the best bullion prices in London begins in Hatton Garden, the diamond and precious metals quarter set within EC1N between Holborn and Farringdon. This corner of Camden has supplied the trade for generations, and its bullion dealers serve both jewellers and members of the public. Buying gold, silver, platinum and palladium here means dealing with specialists who price keenly against the live market. Whether you need casting grain, sheet, wire or investment bars, the local bullion traders hold deep stock and the knowledge to match it to your purpose.
What bullion buyers can expect
Bullion in Hatton Garden covers far more than coins and bars. Suppliers stock precious metal in sheet, wire, tube, grain and solder, the raw materials that goldsmiths turn into finished jewellery every day.
Prices track the spot market closely, so quotes move with global gold and silver rates. Reputable dealers are transparent about the premium they add over spot, which lets you compare offers fairly before you buy.
Supplies for jewellery making
Many bullion houses double as full suppliers for jewellery tools and equipment, carrying findings, chains, beading materials and gemstone strings alongside the metal itself.
This makes the area a practical destination for makers and hobbyists as well as established workshops. You can source metal, tools and stones in a single visit, often with technical advice from staff who craft jewellery themselves.
Buying with confidence
When buying bullion or selling scrap, ask how the metal is assayed and weighed. London has a long tradition of hallmarking through the London Assay Office, and dealing with established traders protects you on both price and purity.
Greville Street and Leather Lane sit at the heart of this trade, with Chancery Lane and Farringdon stations a short walk away. Visiting in person lets you inspect stock and agree terms directly.
Fun fact: Gold is so malleable that a single gram can be drawn into a wire more than 2 kilometres long.
