At 888 Bullion, we differentiate ourselves through:
888 Bullion purchases a wide range of gold items. Whether you have a single coin or a substantial bullion holding, we are equipped to provide a competitive valuation and swift transaction.
We buy gold bars from all major refineries including PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Metalor, and the Royal Mint. We accept bars in all standard weights — from 1g and 5g up to 20g and beyond. Bars must be in good condition and, where possible, accompanied by their original assay certificate. Not sure which bar size is right for you? Read our guide on gold bars by size.
Gold coins are among the most popular items we purchase. We regularly buy:
For guidance on the most sought-after coins, see our best gold coins for UK investors guide. If you hold CGT-exempt coins, our CGT-free gold coins guide explains how these are treated when selling.
We purchase gold jewellery of all carats — 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct, and 24ct — including rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, and watches with gold cases. Items are assessed by weight and purity. Our guide to gold purity, carats, and hallmarks is a useful reference if you're unsure of your item's specification. You can also use our British hallmark guide to identify your piece before visiting.
Broken, damaged, or unwanted gold items are still valuable. We accept scrap gold in any condition and will assess it accurately to ensure you receive the best possible return on your metal.
We've designed our buying process to be as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Here's what to expect when you sell gold to 888 Bullion in Hatton Garden:
In accordance with UK anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, all gold transactions require identity verification. When you visit us, please bring:
These checks are a legal requirement and apply to all sellers regardless of transaction size. We handle all personal data in strict accordance with UK GDPR. Be aware of common bullion scams — any legitimate dealer will always request ID.
The price of gold fluctuates throughout the trading day based on global supply and demand, currency movements, and macroeconomic factors. When you sell gold, the offer you receive will be based on the live gold spot price at the time of your transaction, minus a small dealer margin that covers our operational costs.
Understanding what drives gold's value can help you make more informed decisions about when to sell. Our articles on gold as an inflation hedge, gold during a recession, and gold vs stocks provide useful context for UK investors.

We base all offers on the live gold spot price, which you can verify independently before your visit. Our margin is clearly explained as part of the valuation process. You can also read our guide on new vs pre-owned bullion to understand how condition affects value.
Walk-ins are welcome, but for larger holdings or if you'd prefer a private consultation, we recommend booking ahead to ensure we can give you our full attention.
There is no obligation to sell. You are free to take your gold away and seek alternative valuations. We'd rather you leave satisfied than feel pressured into a transaction.
