Central London dealers?

[Guest reluctant_numismatist]

I've got a meeting in central London next week and with some careful planning I should have at least a couple of hours to kill in the Covent Garden / Charing X road area, which dealers or shops in that area would anyone recommend as being worth a visist?

[£400 for a Penny ?]

You have:

Baldwins in Adelphi Terrace - well worth a trip just to pick up all the latest catalogues. Don't expect a warm welcome however, it's somewhat stuffy to say the least.

Shooting out of there, you could pop into Vera Trinder in Covent Garden - they mostly to accessories and supplies.

Then, nip round to Charing Cross Road, there is a dealer (who's name escapes me) who majors in Gold coins.

After that, see Phillip Cohen just around the corner and hussle on up to Coincraft opposite the British Museum.

Then up Southampton Row to Spink and finish at the British Museum's RBS sponsored Coin gallery.

I worked around there for 10 years, with hand on heart though, I'd go to Baldwins for the experience, visit Phillip Cohen who at least will talk to you and spend the rest of my time in the BM which is excellent.

I think I will make a note of this as I should be going London in the summer. I am sure the wife will love the little detour
