The jewellery lover’s day begins at Ye Olde Mitre, a quaint British pub built in 1546 nestled down a narrow alley in the famed Hatton Garden.  The Ye Olde Mitre Pub is famous for having a cherry tree (now supporting the front) that Queen Elizabeth once danced around with Sir Christopher Hatton. (Hence the area is named Hatton Garden).

Diamond and Jewellery Expert Laurie Wickwire will host an engaging talk on diamonds & semi precious jewels (ruby, sapphire, emerald, tanzanite, pearl), whilst guests enjoy a complimentary drink of their choice from coffee, tea, soda or beer.

We then take a brief tour around Hatton Garden and the famed jewellery windows of the world, discussing and viewing various settings and designs.

This is truly a treasure trove of every jewel and stone imaginable, offered at cost price during your Hatton Garden tour.
