I have bought two stunning glass artworks from London Glassblowing, one a fabulous and dramatic piece for my wedding anniversary and a small but beautiful pair of earrings for no reason except they were just too gorgeous! But I also call in from time to time just to see the wonderful products they have on their regularly changing displays.

If you'd like to see and experience an art form that requires genuine application and talent; then this is the place to come. A group of wonderful artists, and a studio showing off their amazing creations under the stewardship of the rather charming Peter Leyton and who is something of a Godfather when it comes to blown studio glass. This all not to mention that you can buy yourself a one-off work of art starting at just a couple of hundred pounds. Personally, I absolutely love the place!

Very pleasant gallery. We came to the gallery last year, and decided to return for our anniversary. The staff were very attentive without being pushy. They were happy to present pieces on stands so we could get a good view. We did buy a lovely piece. Very pleased with our purchase which is our present to ourselves. Highly recommended.

I recently made a purchase (my first!) from this wonderful gallery, having admired the many beautiful pieces of art over the previous few weeks. In particular, I was particularly drawn to the stunning colours and contrasts in the work of Peter Layton. My eyes kept going back to a ‘Lava’ vase with intense, vivid blues contrasting with the tendril like, serpentine, red/orange/yellow tentacles of lava-like glass writhing around the blue background - mesmerising! I couldn’t resist, and having made my purchase, this special piece of art was delivered by courier a few days later. Perfectly packaged to ensure it arrived safely, I was very pleased to be able to hold my vase and look at it closely from every angle, to take in the details and confirm what a great piece of art this is. Thanks to all involved at the gallery, and I look forward to paying a visit to have a look around in the next month or so. 🙂👍

Stunning! Absolutely beautiful pieces. Wonderful, friendly staff - everyone is so obviously passionate about their work, and keen to share with customers. I really enjoyed my visit there - it will be the first of many - and am delighted with my beautiful purchase. Can't wait to come back to try glassblowing myself!

What a unique and inspiring space, full of glass art, it’s a workshop and gallery at the same time. I never been in such a wonderful place before, and it’s so exciting to see the glass blowing on site, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

Such a cool experience and very friendly staff show as willing to answer all my questions. Beautiful gallery and studio. Definitely worth checking out. I would NOT bring young kids here, though. Very breakable 😉

I could not have been more welcome by the knowledgeable Gallery staff who took time in understanding what I was particularly looking for in terms of an appropriate piece of glass (for a present). I am delighted with what I eventually purchased. I was impressed by the Gallery and the works/pieces that were displayed. Similarly it was interesting to see glass being blown by present artists and hear the explanation of their work. Altogether it was an enjoyable visit, and I look forward to making another exploratory visit.

The London Glassblowing Workshop offers one-day introductory glassblowing lessons once or twice a month. It's a great day, you learn and make a lot (I made 2 paperweights, a dish and a vase). They really help you to make pieces in the styles and colours that you want, and there's only 2 students per instructor. Next door is the Peter Layton glass gallery, for inspiration.

This place is exceedingly interesting. You can pop in and watch pull a lump of molten glass on a stick out of a furnace and then watch them blow and roll it into all manner of glass ornaments and vases. If you are exceedingly well heeled, you can buy them too. Prices are just a little shy of the 'if you have to ask...' range.
