This quintessentially English cheesemonger, established in 1797 still supplies the best Stilton in the kingdom. Heed the words of Churchill: "A gentleman only buys his cheese from Paxton & Whitfield"

Paxton & Whitfield reviews

London's Cathedral of Cheese. Others do well but this really is the oldest and the best. No pretentiousness (Fromagerie please note), genuine knowledge and interest, and great style. A warm welcome always and no reluctance to let you try new cheeses (Selfridges et al won't let you).
