In
1860, a young pharmacist and student of
Samuel Hahnemann, Ernst Louis Ambrecht,
came to London and opened a homeopathic
pharmacy in Ryder Street where he could
put into practice the principles learned
from his teacher. The pharmacy soon outgrew
its original premises and in 1890 it was
moved to Duke Street where it still remains
today supplying homeopathic medicines to
customers all over the world. Ernst's son
Nelson, who changed the name of the company
to A. Nelson and Co succeeded him. As its
reputation has grown so has the demand for
its products. As Europe's oldest and the
UK's largest manufacturer of homeopathic
medicines, Nelsons now produces the most
comprehensive range in Britain from its
specialised manufacturing laboratories in
Wimbledon
