We are a small family-owned independent deli & grocer that opened in Muswell Hill in north London in 2005. We aim to be a one-stop shop for every day essentials and hard-to-find ingredients, so you will find our small shop literally crammed full. We pride ourselves on charging sensible prices as we believe that good food should be accessible to everyone whatever their budget. It's a shame that the effective marketing skills of the supermarkets so often convince people that the supermarkets are always the low cost option - look in most of the independent shops in Muswell Hill and you'll find that just isn't the case! Most of the products we sell can't be found in the supermarkets but for those products we have in common, our customers are regularly shocked to find we are cheaper (supermarkets do have to subsidise those £1 chickens somehow after all!). We also pride ourselves on our old-fashioned, attentive and friendly customer service - do let us know if you ever find that this isn't the case. As our on-line shop is a new venture for us, we hope that you will bear with us while we develop it. It is our aim to offer our full range of stock on-line, but that will take time. We can't send out anything that is frozen, and we need to figure out how to post our homemade cakes to you and keep them in one piece, with icing intact.

Holder of the coveted Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen, the Irish Linen Company was situated in London's historic Burlington Arcade from 1953 - the Coronation year - until December 2006. It now has an office outside of London where it continues to supply its illustrious clients. The Irish Linen Company has been a magnet for the naturally discerning for over one hundred and twenty-five years. Established in 1875 in the Midlands by the current owner's grandfather, then as now, the Company specialised in the sourcing and selling of the finest Irish Linens. During the 1930's the Irish Linen Company branched out into London's Bond Street, but faced with fierce opposition and a closing of ranks between the competition, ceased trading within six months. Undeterred the Irish Linen Company concentrated on developing its Midlands' operation, reopening in its landmark location of Burlington Arcade, Mayfair in 1953. Today over fifty years later, the Irish Linen Company remains the last family-owned firm of its kind in the world, and is now run by the tradition continued by Prue, wife of the third generation to run the business. Rooted in supreme craftsmanship, the Irish Linen Company's reputation centres on selling the finest linens on the market - its collection includes Jacquard weaves, delicate hand-embroideries and plain weaves which are stunning in their quiet simplicity.

The name Lejeune has been synonymous with first class bronze founding for the best part of 100 years. Established in 1910 as AE Lejeune (AEL) by Emil Lejeune and his wife Augustine, the company concentrated on small ornamental bronzes, decorative architechtural fittings and, with the spread of the automobile, car mascots. The first of these produced by the company was almost certainly the "Speed Nymph", the design for which was registered in 1917. The success of this first mascot enabled Emil to commission work from some of the best known artists of the day; many existing patterns bear the initials of sculptors such as Frederic Bazin and Charles Paillet. It was not long before Lejeune had established itself, and by 1929 was being described as "the world's largest motor car mascot manufacturer". Lejeune is unique in the breadth of services it is able to provide. We carry a range of over five hundred original patterns which may be supplied in a variety of finishes and mounting options to suit a variety of different applications. The Lejeune archive is constantly evolving, and it is our aim to continue this process of improvement. Some of our models have been in production for over 90 years, whilst new introductions are being made all the time. We aim for the highest quality in our bronzes and the sculptors we employ are all well respected in their individual fields. Sir David Hughes has contributed many additions to the range as have Anthony Maynard, Neil Dalrymple and Clark Watling. Where a specific need is not catered for from the existing range, for example for the commissioning of a new trophy or special gift, Lejeune is able to turn its skills towards producing a one-off item to a client's specification. We have produced many bespoke pieces over the years and welcome enquiries in this area.

Paxton & Whitfield was first recorded as a partnership in 1797, but its origins began in 1742 when Sam Cullen set up a cheese stall in Aldwych market. As London became increasingly affluent Sam moved his cheese business closer to his wealthy customer base, near to Jermyn Street where there is still a shop today. He also took on two new partners - Harry Paxton and Charles Whitfield. Ironically it is their names, not his, which grace the shop fronts now. The Company's reputation grew steadily, culminating in 1850 with the honour of being appointed cheesemonger to HM Queen Victoria. It was the first of many Royal Warrants that the Company has held. While the earlier years were good for Paxton & Whitfield, times were tougher from the 1860s. Smart society's appetite for traditional English farmhouse cheese was fading in favour of Continental cheese and, in England, factory style production was becoming the established practice. Many artisan cheeses totally disappeared as small farmers sent their milk to industrial creameries. This trend continued throughout the two World Wars and, in the 1940s, with eggs, butter and cheese in short supply 93 Jermyn Street became an ordinary grocery shop. After World War II and a series of different owners, business improved as Paxtons rekindled their contacts with the traditional cheesemakers of rural Britain and started bringing in the best that Europe could offer. More recently two new Paxtons opened, in Stratford upon Avon and Bath not to mention their virtual shop on the web. Customers who value quality know they will always be able to find it at Paxtons. As Winston Churchill once observed "a gentleman only buys his cheese at Paxton & Whitfield".

'Over the past nine decades, Aston Martin has witnessed many changes. In a long and distinguished history, Aston Martin has seen some good times and some not so good times. The fact that Aston Martin has survived is testament to the strength and resolve of everyone who has ever been involved with the company: customers and employees alike. We are passionate about the cars we produce and we know this is a passion shared by our enthusiastic owners. All of our sports cars will continue to be hand-built and bespoke but using high technology processes in a very modern environment. That ethos goes right back to 1914 and the very beginnings of the company. Our founders, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, believed that a sports car should have a distinctive and individual character. They felt it should be built to the highest standards and be exhilarating to drive and own – many things have changed over the ensuing ninety plus years, but those goals are still very relevant to us today. An Aston Martin combines three important elements: power, beauty and soul. Aston Martins are truly special – they always have been and always will be.' Dr Ulrich Bez, Chief Executive Officer, Aston Martin

The practice of authenticating a document by the granter affixing his distinguishing mark or seal was current in ancient India, Egypt, Greece and Rome and was continued in medieval times. The art of the seal engraver is to produce a mirror image in the ring or desk seal so that when it is pressed into hot wax the crest is the correct way round. No machinery is used in the engraving process, only traditional tools such as gravers, half rounds, flat tools and spit sticks. I am able to supply signet rings in silver, 9 ct and 18 ct gold and platinum. I am able to research family crests. Hand engraving is one of the oldest forms of art, dating back to pre historic man. For this type of engraving I use traditional tools. One of such tools is the graver, which is used to cut through the metal to produce the desired crest or initials. I can engrave any precious metal and supply silver and gold cufflinks.

Nineteen years ago we began the business of building up what we believe to be the finest place to buy wine in London. From the start, we knew the ingredients: an unparalleled range of Bordeaux and Burgundy, wines imported from undiscovered producers of fantastic quality and people with the knowledge and enthusiasm to champion the cause of good wine. Today we continue to believe in the same things. As high streets are slowly being transformed into one faceless chain we believe there is an ever-growing need for the individual specialist. We remain passionate advocates of wines from all over the world that offer value, character and substance. As an independent we are under no obligation to buy any particular producer's wines. We don't offer big brands of no discernable merit other than a large marketing budget; we simply choose wines that we like, wines that speak of place and individuality.

Back in 1934 a one Tommy Layton, restaurateur extraordinaire, began the revolutionary practice of delivering carefully selected parcels of fine wine, from Bordeaux and Burgundy, to his customers throughout London. So popular was this enterprise and so high was the demand that Tommy was encouraged to focus his extensive wine expertise on developing a second career out of his interest and passion for wine – and Laytons Wine Merchants was born. As the post-war wine market recovered the business was taken over by the dynamic Graham Chidgey who echoed Tommy’s fervent enthusiasm for wine from the more traditional areas of production. It was Chidgey who first introduced London to Laytons’, now celebrated, Champagne as a direct result of his strong connections in this eponymous region. The company went from strength to strength capitalising on private opportunities that allowed its salesmen to enjoy the luxurious wine merchant lifestyle! Many turbulent years passed before, under the arches at St. Pancras Station, The Jeroboams Group (London-based retailer and wholesaler of cheeses and fine foods) found, and took over Laytons. By this point a successful trade focussed sales team had been developed, taking Laytons back to its roots in the on-trade and allowing the business to grow within the London market. This acquisition gave Laytons a much needed injection of new world expertise that allowed for further development into the business we see today.

The idea for a placemat decorated with a coloured print was born out of the harsh economic climate of the 1930's. Lady Clare Pigott, the original founder of the company, created the first such place mat in Paris in 1932. She had collected antique prints from dealers in Berlin where her husband was attached to the British Embassy. Having to entertain diplomats during their next posting to the Embassy in Paris, Lady Clare became concerned at the laundry bills she was incurring for the starched white table cloths formality required her to use for dinners. As a result she created some place mats from shaped and painted hardboard with a flower print applied to the surface and several coats of lacquer. For her next dinner party she was able to remove the table cloth and lay the table using her placemats. Her friends were most impressed by this simple and attractive way of decorating a dining table. Inevitably the next question was ... can you please make some for me? From these simple origins a business was born. Our range now includes placemats for formal and casual dining as well as accessories such as waste bins and trays. With over 70 years experience, Lady Clare is synonymous with design, quality and service.

H.Bronnley & Co Ltd was founded in 1884 by James Bronnley when he was just 19 years old. He had spent a year in Paris studying the art of soap making and was determined to establish himself as a maker of soaps of the highest quality. His first soap making took place in a humble shed situated in Holborn, Central London. His insistence on producing only the finest quality soaps saw his reputation grow and eventually he relocated to larger premises in Islington, North London. With such a growing reputation came increased orders and he was compelled to move again to a much larger factory in Acton, in those days one of London's outer suburbs and within easy reach of the countryside. The company remained there until 1949 when a disastrous fire destroyed the factory. A number of temporary premises were used until the company permanently relocated to Brackley in Northamptonshire. The first factory in Brackley was in a former Brewery and this served the company well until the present purpose built factory was built and opened in 1989. Today, Bronnley remains a leading British soap and toiletries company famous for the abundance of natural almond oil, herb, flower and tree extracts blended into our soaps and toiletries. The magic of soap making demands skill, fantastically expensive materials and careful attention to detail. Essential oils made from plant extracts, super fatting- the addition of lovely avocado oil, and triple milling - which assures blended consistency - must combine to perfection to produce our soaps. Quality above everything is the cornerstone of Bronnley which is why we are "Makers of the best soaps in the world".

The General Trading Company was founded in 1920 by the Part family and occupied premises in Grantham Place, off Park Lane W1, for the next 40 years. During this tumultuous period, it became one of London’s first ‘boutique’ home stores selling a multifarious selection of pieces including furniture, interior decoration, gifts, china, glass, clothing and accessories. Always adventurous, sometimes frivolous, everything exuded passion and panache. Borne out of these early years came the wedding list concept (embraced by so many couples to this day) along with the patronage of the Royal Family. In 1962 the shop moved to the fashionably smart surroundings of Sloane Street where it began to make a distinguished name for itself. Initially the company settled comfortably into two large Victorian houses before they were substantially remodeled to make them into one workable retail business. In July 2008 sadly The General Trading Company went into administration. This unique and very individual store has recently been acquired; saving a piece of history as well as the employment of those working there. Its new owners intend to restore the GTC to its former glory as the destination 'boutique' home store in South West London. Over the next few months the store will undergo a gradual transformation culminating in an exciting re-launch.

Les Senteurs was founded in 1984 by Betty and Michael Hawksley. They realised that there was no real choice available in department stores, if you wanted something a little different or unusual in fine fragrances or scented goods.

Les Senteurs is proud to lay claim to having been the first shop in the UK to stock the complete ranges of the now famous brands of Annick Goutal, Creed and Diptyque. From perfume classics, and half-forgotten masterpieces produced by traditional French and Italian perfume houses, to those made by contemporary artisan perfumers, Les Senteurs houses an unrivalled collection of scents and scented goods.

The Athenaeum Club stands proudly at 107 Pall Mall, London, at the corner of Waterloo Place, since 1827 (the Club itself was founded in 1824). It is noted for its large library, and for a bas-relief frieze decorating the club house exterior. It was long regarded as a clergymen's club and boasts bishops, Cabinet Members, and peers amongst its members. The club's facilities include a dining room, a smoking room and a suite of bedrooms. A notable feature of the Club's clock which hangs above the stairs is that it has two figure sevens and no figure eight, the reason for which is uncertain. The membership of the Athenæum was originally limited to one thousand, and the waiting list was always long. The cost of the magnificent premises had resulted in a deficit of some £20,000 and 200 supernumerary members were elected in 1832 to restore the finances.

The year was 1973. Molton Brown opened at 58 South Molton Street in London's Mayfair as a hair salon. The salon's name paid homage to the location and the company set out to be unique from the start. This was a London very much in love with synthetics. But here came Molton Brown: soft, individual and Natural with a capital N. By the 1980s the salon had evolved into the Molton Brown emporium where Dale's plant-based make-up, hair, body, skin and grooming products were sold to those in the know. This was just the beginning and from here we were approached to supply top-end stores, airlines and hotels in cities around the world. Two decades later and our creative team have expanded out of the South Molton Street make-shift lab to a more glamorous set-up in Hertfordshire, just outside London. Today the scale is bigger, but the same passion still flows through the veins of the company and inspires everything we do. You can now experience our creations in more than 70 countries world-wide, in our own emporium, spas and online and in the world's leading luxury hotels and airlines.

The pedigree of this famous company dates back to its founder George Wickes who first entered his mark at Goldsmiths' Hall in 1722. In 1735, Wickes became firmly established when he went into business on his own. Soon after, he was appointed as goldsmith to the Prince of Wales. Each era produced pieces much sought after by antique connoisseurs of today. In 1802, the Garrard name was cemented when Robert Garrard senior took sole control of the firm. Upon his death in 1818 his sons Robert Garrard II, James and Sebastian succeeded him in the business. Garrard has a rich heritage and the challenge is to harness a unique past with modern day relevance. The "crown and G" logo takes reference from the Robert Garrard hallmark of 1822. The motif plays an integral role in the jewellery and silver collections. Likewise, the refreshing raspberry packaging used today is an updated version from a colour used last century. The re-inventive spirit lives on and the year 2002 heralded a dynamic re-launch of Garrard onto the international stage. Customers at Garrard know they are benefiting from an unrivalled heritage of working with the most precious jewels to the most exacting standards. Founded by a master silversmith, the skill of the Garrard craftsmen continues to be second to none.

On March 11, 1744, Samuel Baker, founder of Sotheby's, held the first-ever sale under his own name. The library of a certain Rt. Hon. Sir John Stanley, Bart. described as "containing several Hundred scarce and valuable books in all branches of Polite Literature" sold for a few hundred pounds. Well over two centuries later, on December 6, 1983, Sotheby's sold a single book, The Gospels of Henry the Lion, for more than 8 million pounds. Since those early days, it is not just prices that have grown considerably. So too have the scope and scale of Sotheby's itself. Samuel Baker would hardly recognize his old firm, were he to take a stroll down London's present day New Bond Street - or, for that matter, down Manhattan's York Avenue. It has only been in the last century, after all, that the original London company has expanded from book auctions to cover all areas of the fine and decorative arts. This great expansion means that Sotheby's is not just one of the oldest fine art auctioneers in the world, but also now the largest.

In 1868, during the reign of Queen Victoria, Mr Thomas Fox opened a shop in the City of London, making and selling whalebone framed, silk umbrellas. In the 1880s a major change in the manufacturing process took place with the introduction of a stainless steel umbrella mechanism, invented by a Mr Samuel Fox (no relation). By replacing the traditional whalebone frame of the umbrella with the new steel frame, Fox created a unique stronger and lighter umbrella. And so the modern umbrella was born. Since those days the company has built a reputation for excellence, skill and superb craftsmanship, and today the quality and attention to detail are still the hallmark of a Fox Umbrella.

Most people associate the name AGA with good food and fine living, but many are unaware of the rich and interesting history that lies behind the world’s most famous cooker. Although often thought of as quintessentially British, the AGA actually began life in Sweden. The cooker that has become the heart of the home in more than 750,000 households around the world was invented by Dr Gustav Dalén, a blind Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Appalled that his wife and their maid had to constantly tend to their old-fashioned range, Dalén set about designing a thoroughly modern cooker. It’s unlikely he could have predicted that his invention would go on to be widely acclaimed as a design icon. But there’s also so much more to the AGA brand, including a range of distinctive conventional cookers, wonderfully cool refrigeration products, a massive collection of fabulous cookware and a line-up of AGA-branded stoves to suit every home. So, enjoy the site and take time to learn about the full range of products and services that together make AGA the heart of the home.

We usually have at least six bottles open daily, so that we can share our tastings with our customers. On Friday and Saturday afternoons, these sessions are more specialised - so come in and soak up the infamous Gerry's atmosphere. The shop's customers are as varied as the content.

We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business that we were involved in at the time. In the Spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, (exhaust systems), rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time. We had a good start in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and now in 2009 we carry a stock of around 40 to 50 vehicles and there are ten of us here. In 1999 we were awarded 'International Classic Car Dealer of the Year' by Classic Cars Magazine. The market for 'our' kind of cars is nicely stable, generally prices are creeping upwards all the time, and we feel that investing in a car - or cars - of the type that we sell is generally a great place to put your money.

During the 1920s Lord Wolmer decided to establish a fruit farm at Blackmoor Estate in Hampshire. He quickly decided that he would only plant trees worked on the stocks recommended by East Malling Research station. At the time, however, it was difficult to obtain trees of this description. He therefore established stoolbeds of these rootstock from which to work trees for his own orchards. This led to the establishment of a small-scale nursery. At first sales were confined to produce that was in excess of the planting programme on the farm, but the keen demand for fruit trees of the quality and at the prices he was able to offer led to the expansion of the nursery enterprise.

Dickinson was founded in London in 1992 by Simon Dickinson, a former Christie's Old Masters and British Pictures Director, and David Ker, a dealer in 18th and 19th Century British Pictures. Shortly thereafter they were joined in New York by Ian Kennedy, also a former Christie's Old Master Director, who established the New York division of the business. The company was established with the idea that decades of experience in valuing works of art, the knowledge of where to find great material and the expertise gained as a result of visiting most of the major houses in Britain and countless other collections throughout America and Europe could be used to offer a discreet and professional service to clients who wanted an alternative to the glare of the salerooms. The scope of the firm was expanded in 1995 to include Impressionist and Modern art under the direction of James Roundell, formerly Head of Christie's Impressionist and Modern department. Contemporary art was added to Dickinson's activities soon afterwards by Bona Montagu who brought to the firm her experience in dealing in the secondary market of Contemporary art.
