The distinctive aroma of ripening cheese, often detectable from several doors away, identifies Paxton & Whitfield on Jermyn Street. Established as a partnership in seventeen ninety-seven, the business traces its lineage back to a market stall opened by Stephen Cullum in seventeen forty-two. While the shop bears the names of Harry Paxton and Charles Whitfield—two partners brought on by the founder’s son, Sam Cullum—it is the legacy of this shop as a long-standing purveyor of fine British cheeses that endures.
