History
London Gate was first established locally in Pacific Beach in 1982 in a small corner shop approximately 400 square feet in size by the current owner, Michael Cheng. A few years later, the business moved into a larger vacant lot located at 1475 Garnet Ave and began operation there for the next 25 years. We've kept our traditional store philosophy of hard and dedicated services throughout the many years of operation and will continue to do so. Currently, we are in the process of moving locations once again to just 6 doors down the street located at 1451 Garnet Ave.
