Our Story
A bullion house with three centuries of London heritage.
From the original Spink & Sons bullion department founded in 1666 on Lombard Street, to today's family-owned firm at Savoy Court.
We buy and sell investment-grade gold and silver — coins, sovereigns, and LBMA-approved bars — for private clients, family offices, and institutions.
Three centuries of dealing have taught us one thing: bullion is about trust as much as price.
