City of London

The Distillery

The City of London has a rich gin history; during the “Gin Craze” in the 18th century there was a gin distillery or gin shop in very street in the City benefiting form the spices and citrus fruits coming in to the port of London.
Over the next century, famine, taxation and government regulation took their toll and the Gin Craze ended. No gin distilleries survived, and from nearly 200 years there wasn’t a single gin distillery in the city.

That is until the City of London Distillery opened in 2012. Over the course of 200 years, gin distilling techniques improved, and gin became more refined with more subtle flavours. Gin was big business and London Dry Gin became the most popular type of gin.

Then came the next gin revolution with the advent of the small-batch-micro-distilleries, like City of London, bringing variety, interest and experimentation; new botanicals, new combinations, new gin.

City of London Distillery is still the only operating gin business within the City of London.
