Has anyone found that either they or Purdey allow a glimpse into the workshop? That would be absolutely amazing to see, even if only for a few minutes! NRA Patron Life Member

It�s just around the corner from Holland and Holland adjacent to William and son. Make a day of it. See a tobacconist. Have a martini. Get a massage. Buy some tailored shirts w/cufflinks. They are located next to the gray tweed. Make a man�s day of It. There are a couple websites that describe hour by hour a shooting man�s day in Mayfair. Lunch, drinks, services, hedonism incarnate.

I think both H&H and Purdey's workshops are well away from the shops, so it is not like it would have been years ago, where you could go out the door at the back of the shop, into the workshops. They may still accomodate your request though.

The most distance would be between William Evans and Purdey and that would only be about 4 blocks. Lots of good pubs/eating places in-between each gun shop. There are also some sporting stores (no guns but clothes and the such) to visit like Cordings owned by Eric Clapton. The gunmakers shops are all very friendly. I would highly recommend taking a full day to do a walking tour of the gunmakers shops. And then go right back and do it again the next day too I did this circuit last June and it was well worth it. The shops were all very friendly and spent time chatting even knowing I was only there as a tourist. I will definitely do it again when I am back in London.
