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.

What a find. in these days of small businesses vanishing from the west end of london its such a treat to discover this new one. Spearmint chews, rhubarb and custard and pontefract cakes and tons of great traditional old-fashioned sweets, Mrs Kibbles is fantastic - and second shop in the west end is in St Christophers place which I went to today - and I will be back!

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!
