Mrs Kibbles Olde Sweet Shoppe

Lovely sweet shop boasting all the old fashioned sweets you can remember plus some ones you didn’t realise or remember you forgot.

Tiny shop a little hard to spot but once you see it you’ll never forget it. The door is not on to the street so just go around to the side. Inside you’ll see the counter and sweets everywhere. Take a look, decide which ones you’d like and let the person behind the counter know what you’d like. For an extra pound you can take your sweets home in a branded bag. Lovely!

I go to Mrs Kibble’s every week to feed my husband’s sweet tooth. They have such a large variety for a good price. I’ve only ever seen a few different faces here and the staff are lovely. This is where I come to buy gifts, as they have a great deal on plastic candy jars filled with sweets. Being an American expat, it’s really fun to get to sample so many British sweets of yesteryear.

It can get pretty crowded at Christmas time though, so my only complaint is that the shop’s a bit too small.

this shop is just round the corner from my shop , so now know it’s there i think i’m in trouble , was looking for an alternative valentine to chocolates and this was perfect , jars os sweets which if you ask nicely you can try before you buy ! I Was wondering when a shop became a shoppee though

A lovely little hidden sweet shop that feels like it has been there forever. Great for getting an unusual present for friends and family.

I love this shop-it takes me back to when I was little and having the choice laid out in front of you. They even have milk chews! My husband and I live abroad and when back in the UK we always go there. He loves the shop and is just like a small child in a sweet shop as he never knows what to have!

This is a fantastic sweet shop where you feel as though you are stepping into another world and back in time. It is absolutely lovey. I was able to get sweets for my health concious dad as there are sugar free varieties aof hundreds of different types of sweets. The sweets are so yummy too. They taste like proper swttes should and are larger than those bought in packets at a corner shop. Extinct varieties are also found and they can do gift jars of retro sweets which make brilliant gifts. You can even put one together with your own favorite sweets which is what i chose to do with my gift as i could hand pick my fathers favourite sweets and fill up a jar.

Oh yes, and the shop keeper is wonderfully patient and helpful!

As a walk down memory lane, it’s priceless. But if you weren’t actually born in England and are under 30, you might find it, as I did, to be a little bit naff. Giant jars of sweeties adorn a little toilet-cubicle sized shop. It has a lot of the old boiled sweets and blasts form the past like flying saucers filled with sherbet. But not really my type of sweets, but do love the painfully quaint everything about it, right down to quaint little Mrs Kibble (if that’s even her real name). And would hate to see specialty stores such as this disappear. So although it’s not my bag, 4 stars for great effort.

One pretty cool thing is a shelf selling novelty sweet things like an edible monopoly game and chocolate turds and such. But unlikely to find naughty things like jelly willies etc.

Yum yum. This little sweet shop really takes me back to being 5 years old and going down to the local corner shop to buy penny sweets. Refreshers, cough candies, palma violets, wham bars - you name a retro sweet, they have it here. Everything is in the lovely big old fashioned jars and looks very tempting. I’m sure my dentist wouldn’t like the fact that I visted this place, but sometimes a bag of bon bons can really make or break your day! Tiny little shop and can get busy with tourists and Londoners alike, but well worth the wait outside.

Stumbled across this quaint little sweet shop the other day!
It has great reasonably priced sweets and is definately a favourite of my mum!
They have most traditional varieties in big glass jars and you can even make and customise your own jars.
The man who owns (or maybe he was just working there) the shop was extremely friendly and helpful and didnt show any signs of boredom as my friends and I spent ages debating between the large variety of boiled sweets!

-they also have some sugar free sweets!
- When you look for this shop; at the moment it is surrounded by scaffolding so you will have to look closer than you think.

I love this traditional little sweet shop with its stripy pink bags and little plastic bags that you fill with sweets and have a cute pink Mrs Kibble’s sticker stuck to. I find if you’re new to London and need to take a little gift home to those you love, family and friends, it’s the perfect place and a great gift. Say it with sweets I say.

It gets really busy near closing time and for such a small shop, that’s not good. But in the good old days they lined up outside the shop and this is what they do here. Mrs Kibble’s Olde Sweet Shop, always a pleasure and never a chore.

I used to work just round the corner from here but it took me waaaay too long to find it.

A complete Aladdin's cave of old school confectionery, from licorice twists to rhubabrb and custards, to sherbert dib dabs.

Payign a visit is like stepping back in time to when sweets were stored in massive jars and came in 'quarters'; and you had to save up your pocket money to buy the really good stuff.

It's a bit of a tourist trap to be sure, but don't let that put you off.

This is the sweetest (excuse the pun!) sweet shop in the heart of Soho. The outside decor makes it look like a dolls house and the simplicity of the old fashioned sweets in jars is a rare sight nowadays. The shop has jars of most of the old fashioned classic sweets you'd expect such as sugar mice, tom thumb drops and flying saucers. The sweets are pricey enough, and you are definately paying for the nostalgia trip but for anyone that fancies feeling like a child in a candy store for the afternoon this is the place!
