A.Gold shop, Spitalfields, London
Welcome to A.Gold
Open 10-4pm weekdays and 11-5pm weekends.
We like to think of ourselves as a village shop in the City where you can buy a sandwich made to order, a cup of slow-brewed filter coffee, a bag of traditional sweets and a homemade Scotch egg for later read more about A.Gold...

Homemade Scotch Eggs
Royal grocer Fortnum & Mason claim to have invented Scotch eggs in the 18th Century. From such majestic beginnings they have become a rather nasty supermarket snack food. But proper homemade Scotch eggs are a revelation. We make them fresh every week-day; a free-range boiled egg is encased in seasoned sausage meat, rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. They are satisfying, truly delicious and have a loyal (some might say fanatic) following - we sell dozens a day. Try it cut in half with a dollop of hot English mustard.
London Borough of Jam
Generous jars of jewel-like jam from Lillie at London Borough of Jam.
Wonderful flavour combinations (Peach & Fennel, Pickled Strawberry, Rhubarb & Rose), lashings of fruit, simple, stylish packaging and so local and homemade the jam sometimes arrives at the shop still warm from the pan.
Is this is perfect jar of jam? Quite possibly. www.londonboroughofjam.tumblr.com
Surrey Quays Honey
From bees that roam the parks and gardens of Surrey Quays - just across the river, we have two delicious honeys from small producer 'London Honey Bees'.
The Blossom honey is harvested early in the season from the spring fruit blossoms, so tends to be light and delicate. Surrey Quays honey is gathered later and is a little darker in colour and richer in flavour, but still mild.
Spitalfields Life
One hundred and fifty favourite stories by The Gentle Author published as a handsome illustrated hardback.
Everything you seek in London can be found in this book – street life, street art, markets, diverse food, immigrant culture, ancient houses and history, pageants and parades, rituals and customs, traditional trades and old family businesses.
The book is a fine compliment to the Spitalfields Life blog which The Gentle Author has been writing since 2009. www.spitalfieldslife.com
We also have a super little local map of Spitalfields by the same author; a great way to navigate, not just the streets but the stories and the personalities of this special area.
Campbell's Tea
'Beautiful Flavour, Delicious Rich Cup' it says on the tin and we can only agree.
A strong but smooth full-bodied blended tea made from loose East African leaves.
A firm favourite, customers buy tins and tins of it; sometimes so much we wonder how they can possibly drink it all. www.facebook.com/Campbellstea
A pallet of Campbell's Tea arrives at A.Gold.
