Home to some of the finest silverware in the world, the London Silver Vaults is situated beneath the north end of London’s Chancery Lane marking the very western boundary of the City of London.

Opened officially in 1953 the building’s heritage can be traced back to 1227, when the street became home to the Lord Chancellor’s palace (from which Chancery is derived).

Henceforth it was associated with the legal profession, and various Inns of Court, including Lincoln’s and Staple Inns, flourished around it. After six decades, the London Silver Vaults remain the largest retail space for antique and modern silverware in the world, and many of the businesses are multi-generation family enterprises.
