The London Gold Market
The London gold market is the world's largest over-the-counter market for gold trading. Hatton Garden, established in medieval times, remains the heart of Britain's jewellery trade with over 300 businesses. London dealers benefit from proximity to the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association), which sets global gold prices twice daily. This competitive environment means sellers often receive 2-5% better rates than regional markets.
