Assets we pawn against
Our promise to you
At New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, we believe loans should be simple. Whether you’re pawning fine jewellery, watches, or art, our fixed rate ensures you know exactly what to pay monthly. No surprise fluctuation, just straightforward loans on luxury items in the heart of Mayfair
We’re one of the most trusted and awarded Central London pawnbrokers. Our team of specialists provides accurate, auction-based valuations, ensuring your short-term loans against luxury assets reflect their value. We also partner with prestigious auction houses to ensure accurate appraisals of rare or specialised assets.
We’ve served our clients for 30 years from our Bond Street area pawnshop. During that time, we experienced growth and retained customers because we focused on fairness and transparency. Our luxury items loans are honest and upfront, setting us apart as the premier pawnbrokers in London.
We don’t require credit checks for loans against luxury assets. This stance ensures that our loans are swift, low-friction, and don’t affect your credit rating. Traditional financing is slow, cumbersome, and evasive. Our financing options are the opposite, which is why we’ve built strong relationships with our customers.
Time is one of the most undervalued assets in the financial world. When you borrow against luxury goods at our Mayfair pawnshop, we aim for quick same-day transfers that often arrive in your bank account in just two hours. When you need capital quickly, we’ve got you covered.
We provide flexibility when you pawn fine assets in our West End office. Our loans are set for between 2 and 7 months, but you can settle up at any time during that period. Best of all, we don’t charge early termination fees; all you have to do is pay the remaining interest on your loan.
As an FCA-regulated member of the National Pawnbrokers Association, we are committed to providing the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the industry. We ensure that our pawn shop loans are clear, transparent, and work in your favour.
We pawn against a range of luxury assets from Rolex & Patek Philippe watches to jewellery from Cartier, Graff & Van Cleef & Arpels. So whether you have a fine wine, a rare book or an Andy Warhol painting, we can help you release some of that value.

The required documentation varies depending on the asset:
Watches: Certificate of authenticity, original box, service papers, and any additional original paperwork.

How does your valuation process work?
Our valuation process is thorough and tailored to each asset type:
Watches: We check authenticity, including paperwork, serial numbers, and holograms. We then value the watch against current auction prices and estimates.
