Hand made artisan small batch gin
Thames Ditton Gin is a craft gin, fondly produced in small batch quantities and infused with a special blend of botanicals inspired by the local area. Its unique recipe is taken from the local heritage of Hampton Court Palace Kitchen Garden, at the very heart of Thames Ditton’s local community. Thames Ditton is steeped in romantic history, perfect for those that love a good gin. Eros, the ‘Greek god of love’ originated here - in the form of the famous statue at Piccadilly Circus. Tales of old also include The Islanders to Royalty, Cesar Picton and Shelby’s AC Cobra made infamous at Le Mans.
Community Spirit AWARDS 2024
Part of our ethos here at Thames Ditton Gin is driven by a strong sense of community.
A few years ago we started the Community Spirit Awards where we give a chance for you, as part of the local community to acknowledge the unsung heroes in our wonderful village who give their time and selfless support to others without a seconds thought. After a few dry years post covid and lockdown, we thought we’d run it again for 2024.
Nominate someone you think a worthy winner, share the details, and we’ll pick out 6 winners for the chance to win a bottle of our finest Original Gin, plus some tonic and of course a signed winner’s certificate, for some well-deserved recognition.

London Dry Gin has often been mistaken for Gin specifically made in London, instead the story goes that the original gin produced was referred to as 'Old Tom' was such bad quality and taste that turpentine was added to help improve the flavour. When Gordons Gin moved to Clerkenwell and started to triple distil their gin in the latter parts of 1760's, all gin using the same distillation process was able to use 'London Dry Gin' as a seal of quality.
Our gin is in the same London Dry Gin style and we use the same process for Thames Ditton Gin. We guarantee that our recipe excludes any trace of turps!
Produced in small batch and craft distilled our botanicals are inspired by the local area with costmary and lemon thyme that are found in the kitchen garden at Hampton Court Palace, along with the traditional genevere or juniper base. We've added just an embarrassment of zest from blood oranges acknowledging King William of Orange, latterly William III, who was all too familiar with the local area and the production of gin.
We will only ever produce in very small batch quantities to maintain the ultimate exclusivity of Thames Ditton Gin.

LOCAL INSPIRATION
King William of Orange
On February 20, 1702 William III was riding Sorrel, his new horse, in the park of Hampton Court when he fell
In 1689, King William of Orange moved into Hampton Court Palace and immediately enacted a series of laws to encourage distillation. That eagerness certainly contributed to the later Gin Craze – in the 1720s, one in every four houses was thought to be home to distilling equipment of some kind. Read more...
