Chocolatiers in London
4 stores · curated ORBIS register
Bond Street's chocolatier — Royal Warrant since 1875, pink champagne truffles, and the shop that invented the chocolate truffle.
Brick Lane's chocolate wonderland — cocoa pod sculptures, handmade truffles, and the hot chocolate that comes topped with shavings.
Founded in 1902 by master chocolatier Antoine Dufour, Prestat lays claim to originating the chocolate truffle and held two Royal Warrants from the Queen Mother, in 1975 and 1999. Roald Dahl gave the brand a cameo in his novel My Uncle Oswald, and its truffles are still sold from a small shop in Piccadilly's Princes Arcade.
The Moxon Street shop hosts tutored tastings and hands-on chocolate sessions in addition to retail. Experiences cover tempering and sampling a broad selection, with separate formats offered for adults, children and private groups.
