JC Vickery is a British consumer goods company founded in 1890 London. John Collard Vickery and his then partner, Arthur Thomas Hobbs, bought up the long established business of William Griggs, a stationer and bookseller at 183 Regent St in 1890. William Griggs had been at 183 Regent St as early as 1843 and in 1854 when they took over they expanded the stock to include jewellery, dressing cases, gold and silver lines. Continuing alone after 1891, Vickery extended his premises to 1900 to 179, 181 and 183 Regent St, with showrooms to the rear of 1 New Burlington Place.
