Things to do in London, England: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

May 16, 2022 Malia Yoakum

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

A&S Jewellery Mfg Ltd

Reviewed By AlexMilcic

My partner and I visited a number of stores in Hatton Garden looking for an engagement ring and wedding bands before we entered A&S Jewellery. There is no doubt that A&S Jewellery was the best experience we had. Uri and Jon were absolutely great and made the experience enjoyable and stress free. There honest approach (which we verified) was greatly appreciated. The whole process (from start to finish) felt natural and at no point did we feel any pressure from the staff (which I must say we did at the other stores). We would highly recommend A&S Jewellery as the place to go when looking for an engagement ring/wedding band. Overall, fantastic customer service and wonderful friendly/honest staff.

Reviewed By CVTravelsTheWorld - London, United Kingdom

I spent quite a while visiting almost every Hatton Garden showroom to hunt down the perfect diamond, ring, and all at the right price for an engagement ring. Sure, spend some time checking out what there is on the street, gain some diamond knowledge, get to know different styles, but you'll learn soon enough the prices on the main street are basically tourist traps. Almost every store will put a price tag on a ring that's near enough 30% too high, hoping to catch out an unaware shopper who doesn't know fair prices. Once you negotiate down its then to even know if you've negotiated enough with them! Once you have something in mind (or even if you don't), head down to Vincent Loveland and he will spend serious care and attention to get the perfect ring designed and made for you (and without the silly finger in the air prices). He and his team work out of their workshop just off the main road on Greville Street. Vincent sourced a great choice of diamonds for me until I found the PERFECT stone. The ring Vincent and his team custom designed for me around the stone as I wasn't a fan of the off the shelf rings where the claws are too raised and proud (making them vulnerable to damage). Vincent was very open about lead times and worked around my timelines, and the end result was truly beautiful. My (now) wife cannot get over the ring, and we made sure to come back to Vincent for the matching wedding band which he expertly crafted. I would recommend Vincent Loveland and his team to anyone seeking any diamond jewellery, you cannot go wrong and the host of 5 star reviews on TripAdvisor like this one are a testament to that.

I can’t recommend the team at Hearts of London enough. My journey literally started with Eddi’s friendly face popping outside to see if I was OK, as my confused face pressed against the glass of their Hatton Garden shop, searching for engagement rings. A few weeks later, and after Eddi’s expert advice on diamonds, precious metals and the benefits of an earlier taper, I had the perfect ring which my fiancé (and now wife) loved. They were so good we even came back to get our wedding bands made - no mean feat when my other half had a completely bespoke design (of her own making) made from scratch. Hearts of London are a little oasis in the middle of Hatton Garden. I went to a few jewellers before heading their way and they offer something I didn’t find anywhere else - impartial, unpushy advice and a flawless end product. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service from all the staff at Riviere Jewels, especially Sam and Valentina. Their advice for a pink sapphire and diamond ring was perfect, right down to choosing the right colour pink gem. Although my ring wasn't quite ready to collect on the specified day (needed to be hallmarked), Riviere arranged delivery to ensure I had my ring in time for an event at the weekend. Many thanks to all for your friendly customer service.
