London Diamond Bourse

For the best part of 70 years we have operated the foremost UK diamond trading floor. In the heart of Hatton Garden, hidden amongst the many different jewellery shops which make up London’s iconic jewellery district, in a building particularly designed for the diamond trade, lies the London Diamond Bourse (LDB). An organization steeped in history and the only diamond trading floor in the UK. An organisation with such an interesting past, and such an interesting future. You are encouraged to read our history and to understand the beginnings of what used to be a small club formed by Jewish settlers after the second World War in a little cafe. Today, the LDB has a more diverse membership and is recognised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as a Trade Association. We are a prominent member of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and are one of only 30 active diamond trading floors in the world. To count yourself as one of the members of our organisation is an honour not given all those that apply. Membership is offered based on an individual basis and you will be subject to various checks before you are admitted to our organisation. You will also need to commit to operate under ours and the WFDB rules. Find our website at
