The East India Company’s new, beautiful emporium on Conduit Street is like the store cupboard of our dreams: towers of jams (with gold leaf!), jars of coffee (bespoke blends!), stacks of mustard (12 kinds!) — you get the idea.

Nostalgia and history collide with impeccably designed packaging, meticulously sourced products and, best of all, the opportunity to try anything that takes your fancy. It’s our new destination shop for foodie gifts. Even the carrier bags are chic.

7-8 Conduit Street, London W1S 44.20 3205 3380
