How can I invest in gold bullion?

I would like to have some - a small amount - to keep at home, and the larger amount to be kept insured in some secure place. Is this possible? How can I go about this?

1. Buy some, Mr. Rich
2. Too late it's already gone up in value and will probably come down soon.....you could come over to Thailand where it's cheaper and smuggle it back into UK.....Don't blame me if you get caught though.....
3. You can buy them in your local bank. Or invest in Gold Stocks. Check out ticker GG
4. Gold is one of the best investments for all times. Bullion you can buy trough at least several companies. Make easy search for example "buy gold bullion" and choose for yourself. But there is some inconviniences too -there is a some hefty comission involved upon buy and sell. Also you have to worry about keeping it at home or paying safe deposits fee in the bank. I thing one of the best way to own Gold is trough gold tracking stock -ticker is GLD- it tracks absolutely the price of gold. If you wanna have some gold on your hand you can buy some gold coin.
