ABOUT GOLD LEAF
Gold Leaf or ‘Gilding’ is a sign writing technique which dates back millennia to ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilisations.

OUR WORKS
There are literally thousands of projects we’ve made over the past 30 years, from corner shops, Soho to St. James’s.
Being a kid hanging out in Soho, and Charing Cross Road as a guitar loving lad, these projects strike a special chord.

PURE GOLD HISTORY
One of Denmark street’s stalwarts is Regent Sounds Studio which was established in the 1950s by Ralph Elman and taken on in 1961 by James Baring, an eccentric old Etonian and enthusiastic supporter of emerging pop acts.
Conditions at the studio in the early days were cramped and makeshift.
When The Rolling Stones recorded their first album here in 1964 for example, the studio was sound-proofed with cardboard egg-boxes stuck to the walls!

HATTON GARDEN
HOME OF GOLD
Pure Gold: Initially valued for its beauty and its extraordinary
enhancement of artistic works.
Hatton Garden is a street and commercial zone in the Holborn district of the London Borough of Camden, abutting the narrow precinct of Saffron Hill which then abuts the City of London. It takes its name from Sir Christopher Hatton, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, who established a mansion here and gained possession of the garden and orchard of Ely Place, the London seat of the Bishops of Ely.

FOOTE’S FAMOUS ROCK N ROLL MUSIC STORE
In 1961, Ronald Foote left the company and in the same year, in store drum tuition was introduced with Frank King.
In 1969, Footes moved to 17 Golden Square and became established as the Premier drum showroom. Following the sudden passing of Frank King, the drum tuition seat was taken over by John Tayler who remained in situ until his retirement in 2012. 1991 saw another move to 10 Golden Square, just a few doors along from the original Premier office.
In 2012, the business passed to long term sales director Rob Wilson with the help of Nick Mason (Pink Floyd/Saucerful of Secrets). Nick bought his first drum kit at Footes in 1958!
The shop was moved to its current location at 41 Store Street where it continues to serve the worldwide drumming community. It has one of the most impressive displays of drums and percussion in the country alongside tuition, a practice room and a dedicated cymbal room.
