Our Story

London Gold Exchange was founded in 2024 with a simple mission: to help UK residents make informed decisions about buying and selling gold.

After years of personally investing in precious metals, our founder Taro Schenker saw how difficult it was to find accurate, up-to-date gold prices and trustworthy dealers in the UK. Too many people were getting poor prices simply because they didn't have access to reliable market data.

We built London Gold Exchange as a comprehensive resource that brings together real-time market data, verified dealer information, and practical guides—all focused specifically on the UK gold market.

Why We Built This

  • Gold prices vary significantly between dealers—sometimes by 10-15%
  • Most UK gold sellers don't know the true value of their gold
  • Finding verified, trustworthy dealers is time-consuming
  • Quality information about UK gold investment is scattered
