London visit this fall

[analog_peninsula]

I’ll be visiting London this fall for the first time in a number of years. Any must see shooting related stops that I should make? I remember the H&H store used to be there, but I’m sure there are others just as exceptional. A highlight of my last visit was the Wallace Collection, and I intend to visit the museum again, but I don’t want to miss anything special this time.

I would visit Rigby, H&H, Westley Richards and Purdy at least those are on my list when I go.

H&H was sold to Beretta and their Mayfair/Bond Street shop has closed. The new H&H boutique is upstairs at the Beretta store in St. James.

Purdey is in Mayfair and is a must see.

The H&H shooting school is out just north of Heathrow if you are looking for a day trip.

Rigby is on the south side of the river and does tours from what I understand.

The best upland clothing store is Farlows, also in St James. It’s also a fly fishing shop if that’s your thing.

Hope this helps.

Where can a guy find a small independent shop with several or many classic brands and antique hunting accessories for sale. In addition to the top tier manufactures.

I second the request

In Central London that would be William Evans, maybe the last of the independent gun shops - I’d call it so-so but treasures can be found.

Westley Richard’s flagship store is a train ride away Birmingham - have never been but it looks awesome. Not sure there’s a London location.
