Distillery in central London since 1820

Welcome to one of the best kept secrets of London - the Beefeater Distillery in Kennington - where the gin is still hand-made according to a recipe practically unchanged since 1800.

London, one of the world's major cities, played a leading role in the development of the London Dry Gin, one of the world's great drinks.

The history of London and Beefeater Gin was closely intertwined by the albours of the English distillation of gin. Housed in an Edwardian building with an extension of the 1950s, the Beefeater Distillery presents original Victorian discontinuous alembics and a botanical room, where fresh ingredients are kept.

A tailor-made visitor centre allows connoisseurs to see the original alembics, observe the distillation process and learn about the history of gin in London.
