Bespoke kitchens in Greenhill, Camden
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make bespoke kitchens for homes in Greenhill, each designed at a visit to your home.

- A painted kitchen in a colour you choose
- A kitchen island with room around it
Bespoke kitchens designed for your room
Flats, blocks and rented homes
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it’s worth raising at the measuring visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
How we make bespoke kitchens for Greenhill
Islands work well in kitchens with room to walk around them. There needs to be enough clear floor around it to open doors and move about, and in a narrow kitchen an island can make the room harder to use. Where space is tight, a peninsula or a longer run may suit better. If you’re living with open shelves with cupboards below and an island where space allows, kitchens made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish can solve it.
Sash windows and back doors to the garden are common in older kitchens. Around Greenhill, where a large share of homes date from before 1919, the layout is drawn around those fixed points. Your plumber connects the sink where the design puts it. You choose the worktop, sink and appliances.
A written quote follows the design visit. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish.

What prompts bespoke kitchens in Greenhill
In a flat, the kitchen may share a wall with the living space or sit in a narrow galley. We can design for a galley, an alcove or a corner, so every run is used.
People typically get in touch with us about things like these:
- A layout for a small or tricky room
- A central island in a larger kitchen
- Tall larder storage
- A dresser that suits a period house
For families living near The Royal School, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off.
Choosing a carpenter
- How parking will work on your street
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
Where other trades come in
Some parts of a job need another trade, from an electrician to a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- New sockets or circuits
- Structural changes to the room
- Connecting sinks, taps and dishwashers
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can get in touch through our contact form and we will give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.

Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Greenhill?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
Do you cover homes near Hampstead Heath station?
Yes. We cover all of Camden and the rest of London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we will see what we can do.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
We plan the route in during the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
Can I have a kitchen island?
If the room is big enough, yes. At the design visit we check the clearances around it. If it would crowd the kitchen, we will say so.
How much time does fitting need?
Every kitchen is different. How long the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote, so you can plan your other trades around it.

Kitchens in Greenhill homes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Greenhill were built before 1919 (about 65%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 10%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Within a mile of the centre of Greenhill, 11 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. About 65% of homes in the streets around Greenhill were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Kitchens in houses of that age often sit in a narrow back addition, with walls and floors that aren’t true, so cabinets are scribed and levelled on site.
If you live near Hampstead Heath, a cupboard by the back door for boots and coats can be built in with the kitchen. 2 Willow Road, about 0.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top.
Greenhill is within the London Borough of Camden, about 3 miles south-east of St Pancras. From period terraces to newer flats in Greenhill, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Greenhill is one of 28 places on our list for Camden.

Open spaces near Greenhill include Belsize Wood and Parliament Hill.
From workshop to your room
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Terraced streets in London are often lined with parked cars, so it is useful to tell us at the measuring visit what’s outside. The van is unloaded quickly, with the sections carried straight in. Saturday fitting can be arranged.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and how you cook.
- At the design visit we measure up and plan the cabinets around the worktop, sink and appliances you choose.
- A quote in writing follows for the cabinets, materials and finish. Plumbing, gas and electrics aren’t part of it: those are for your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home, working around your plumber, your electrician and a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Practical tips
The finish lasts best with a little care. These practical tips help:
- Measure the route into the kitchen
- Check there’s room around an island before planning one
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
- Wipe up spills promptly
We adjust the doors and drawers as part of the fitting. Walls and floors shift slightly through the year, so hinges allow small adjustments later.
Line up your other trades in good time. Their work and ours need to fit together, and it’s easier when everyone works from the same design.
