London Chocolate is a recent addition to the London chocolate scene, open in 2021. This is a good thing. I used to live not too far away, across from Paddington Station and if London Chocolate had been open when I lived there, I would have been seriously distracted. Their little boutique on Connaught Village next to Marble Arch station has a café serving a range of drinks and sweets. Downstairs is the chocolate factory where everything is produced.
London Chocolate has stunning packaging that visually highlights the different origins the beans used to make that particular chocolate are from, countries ranging from India, via Mexico through Tanzania to name but a few. The chocolates are made with just two ingredients: cocoa beans and sugar. The hot chocolate, made using their chocolate, was, not surprisingly, beautiful.
