As the capital city on the United Kingdom, London is a magnet for top chef talent. So, it's unsurprising that many top chocolatiers start out in the capital, working as pastry chefs at world-famous restaurants, working under esteemed - and occasionally celebrity - chefs. Major chocolate brands base their offices in the capital too, as seems to be tradition.
London has a diverse wealth of chocolate shops and chocolate makers, from a sprinkling of familiar high street brands through to startups, small chocolate chains, and bean-to-bar makers. There's also a selection of chocolate shops and department stores, with exciting chocolate libraries on offer.
I've included shops, chocolate makers, brands, and chocolatiers that are located in London city or Greater London in this round-up. If you're looking for makers in the Home counties, check out these chocolate shops in the South East.

I've excluded supermarkets and franchise stores from this list. I urge you to support your local chocolate makers as many of them are crafting superb quality chocolate treats and gifts. I've listed bean to bar chocolate makers seperately. If you are a real chocolate fan, try a chocolate bar from your local craft chocolate maker and you'll be blown away by how different it tastes compared to mass-produced chocolate. I've also listed national chocolate chains seperately, and have defined a chain as a business that has at least two stores.
Disclaimer: Distances in this calculator are approximate and are listed as the crow flies (you know, the fastest way to get to chocolate). Online shops are normally open to place orders 24/7, subject to availability. For physical shops, check store opening hours before travelling to avoid disappointment.
