Live gold price UK

The live gold price above shows the current spot value of one troy ounce of gold in pounds sterling, alongside the per-gram value and the daily change. London is the global hub for gold trading and the LBMA-set fix is widely used as a reference; BullionPrice.co.uk publishes an indicative live spot value derived from a third-party data provider.

Gold price per gram vs per troy ounce

Bullion is conventionally priced per troy ounce, which is 31.1034768 grams — heavier than the avoirdupois ounce used for everyday weights. Jewellery and scrap gold are usually quoted per gram, so we show both. Coins such as the Britannia and Sovereign carry a small premium over the spot value.
