Coin shops in London

[Silverman1985]

Anyone know what the best coin shops are in London. Any reviews of the best places or even hidden away ones that are worth a look. 

Not looking for numismatic madness (rare coins etc), just some silver coins i can get that I like at reasonable prices.

I think I went to Coincraft about a year ago, as I said think it was coincraft, and got some half crowns for under spot

I can recommend Baird & Co from own experience, although I didn't like they asked me for an ID when I only bought two Sovereigns there. But they were very helpful. I brought a half Sovereign with me I suspected to be a fake, they tested it for me and confirmed it was 18K and even gave me a kind of certificate for it which helped me getting my fake half Sovereign replaced where I bought it, in another city. Another one that is well established is Sharps Pixley.

But obviously there are many more. I can't believe only one person has answered so far.

Philip Cohen's Numismatics (Coin Heritage) on Cecil Court off Leicester Square/Covent Garden I found to be good. Cheaper than Coincraft I thought.  I've bought some silver bullion from him before and gold Sovereigns, but he has all sorts of stuff. Plenty of Morgan and Peace dollars etc...  

Sharps Pixley do look a good option from a total bullion point of view.

Coincraft is prob a waste....Spink is on Southhampton....St. James

Another vote for Philip Cohen/Coin Heritage as above.  Interesting little shop with a knowledgeable proprietor, especially if you like UK numismatic coins.  I haven't been there for a few years but used to visit a couple of times a year when I was in London for the day.  

I wish I had bought a few items from him back then, his prices on gold bullion and proof sets were pretty fair.
