Rippon Cheese Stores

As a Pimlico local and a frequent shopper at Rippon, I’ve always enjoyed my visits. However, today I was met with hostility from a worker who I have never seen. She was an English lady in her mid-30s with glasses, and she seemed disinterested in helping us. She didn’t want to explain anything and was reluctant to let us taste a specific blue cheese, even questioning if I was sure about my choice. She only offered it to my partner and not me. I’m not sure if I misinterpreted the interaction, but I felt discriminated against. When I asked which cracker would pair well, she simply said she didn’t know and probably suggested the oat. I’m not sure what I said or did to deserve this treatment, as I was respectful throughout. It’s truly disappointing because I’ve been recommending Rippon to friends and family, some of whom even travel from other parts of London just to visit. I genuinely hope something is done to improve the customer service you provide. While this interaction doesn’t represent the entire business, it was particularly uncomfortable on Christmas Eve. I hope to be able to visit again someday and not be met again with hostility.

One of the best cheese stores in London, probably the best overall. Conveniently located close to Victoria Station has a huge variety of British cheese with some international. If you like cheese it is definitely the go to store. The staff is very kind and extremely competent, it will guide you through all the different types of cheese and specialties.

Rippon Cheese is an absolute gem. I walked in overwhelmed by the incredible selection, but the woman behind the counter was amazing — warm, knowledgeable, and full of brilliant advice on what to try. She helped me pick the perfect cheeses and every single one was spot on. It completely exceeded my expectations. A must-visit if you love cheese — this place does not disappoint.

There is a lot of different kind of chees and all is individual testing so excellent. She is very nice to us and really knows what you want. You should try these amazing cheeses.

Absolutely FAB! They have everything you would want, super quality, the lady who served us was lovely!

A wonderful cheese shop in a pleasant area with So many varieties of cheeses with very helpful staff. Founded twenty five years ago it is the only major specialist cheese shop in the Victoria and pimlico, Westminster area. Located 5 minutes walk from Victoria and pimlico stations and the 24 bus route. They have over 500 different cheeses from around Europe. With biscuits pickles and various jams.

Great cheese and the owner knows her cheese. Friends led us to the shop and we entered cheese heaven. We came out with a delicious cheddar and went back for a stilton. The only bad thing about the shop is that there is too much choice.

Another reviewer described this as an Aladdin's cave of cheese. That is a perfect description, particularly as it's hard not to want to buy everything in the store. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, we didn't know where to start but they helped us pick out some cheeses that met our budget and taste buds while giving us some tasty morsels to try too! Will definitely be back.

A simply brilliant cheese shop. It looks a bit foreboding from the front because there's a big curtain to keep the smell in (I mean, it's a shop full of mature, delicious cheese), but step inside and it's a lactophile's dream come true. They have a fantastic range, and the lady in the shop was perfectly happy to chat and let us try samples and tell us all about the different cheeses. They also have a little offcuts basket, so if you want to buy little pieces for 75p a go, you can take small pieces of cheese instead. It's a hidden gem - my partner and I have now started a cheese fund so we can treat ourselves here every now and then!

We passed this store, while walking in the Pimlico neighborhood when we saw the name Rippon Cheese and saw two ladies cutting cheese wheels in the window. Of course we stopped to look, being from Wisconsin, and they looked up, smiled at us, then went on their way working. On the way back past the store, we had a go in! It's tiny, separated by a plastic curtain into a refrigerated area holding hundreds of varieties of European cheeses. Since we typically stop in the afternoon for a cheese snack, we thought we would buy some and take them back to the flat. We chose a Shropshire blue, Emmental from Switzerland and a soft cheese from France. The store was spotless, these ladies were very accommodating and knowledgeable and for 12 Bucks bought enough for a few days. The recommendations were excellent. This store is highly recommended on your trip to London.

One of the best specialist cheese shops in London. Strong in all regions including the UK

We are two nurses from a local hospice who were treated so well today in the shop . The staff were a lovely and the manager or owner ? had arranged a discount for us . We shall be raising our port glasses to him and the staff . Wonderful shop with amazing cheese and fantastic staff xx

Fantastic cheese specialist, great service and great value. Popped in today to get advice on what to get for a cheese board for a dinner party. The lady owner is friendliness itself and very knowledgeable. Sainsbury's will never be able to top that! Their cheese cold room stocks a wide variety of cheeses just as good if not better than the big names. Much more fun shopping here!

The antithesis of a supermarket cheese counter, run by a friendly couple who were featured in one of the Sunday papers a year or so ago. They sell all types of cheese (the lovely smell alone when you walk in tells you everything you need to know). Much, much better than a supermarket in all aspects - you can ask questions which will be intelligently answered, they'll give you suggestions of similar but different cheeses to ones you're already familiar with and are more than happy to let you taste before buying. I always go in here when making up a cheeseboard for a dinner party as you come out with something delicious and different from the usual standard plastic cheese so common in Sainsbury's!

The freshest cheese in London....a wide, wide range too...lots of exotic European cheese....and at wholesale prices.....my favourite cheese shop in London....always include it in the markets walk when I do Tachbrook Street.

Excellent section of cheese in a little store off the beaten path. Don't bother with the food courts in the fancy stores. You get more of a selection and a better value for the money at this tiny shop with more cheese than you have ever seen. I can't wait to go back!
