Hatton Garden
London EC1

Hatton Garden forms the centre of London's diamond and jewellery trade. 

Running parallel to Leather Lane, the long-established street market, Hatton Garden was built on land that formed the garden of of Hatton House. 

Here, scores of small shops, with sparkling window displays, trade in gems of all types and values.  Some trade even takes place on the pavements! 

Hatton Garden boasts one of London's few remaining pawnbrokers, distinguished by the age-old sign - three brass balls hanging above the door.
