Serving Camden Town · NW1 · NW5

Fitted furniture for Camden Town, made five miles away in Wembley.

Metro Home Interiors designs, manufactures and installs fitted furniture across Camden Town and the surrounding North London postcodes. Our workshop is inWembley HA9— five miles west of NW1. A designer can be at your home for an in-depth measure-up without the back-and-forth that comes with longer commutes.

Camden Town is a layered property market —Georgian terracesalong Albert Street and Arlington Road,Victorian terraceson the Kentish Town side,canal-side warehouse conversionsaround Camden Lock and Hawley Wharf, and mansion blocks off Parkway. Each calls for a different approach: hand-built panels in narrow Georgian houses where standard sections won't make it up the stairs, floor-to-ceiling sliders in warehouse conversions with services-bulkhead ceilings, and bespoke joinery for the period detail in listed buildings.

Camden Town sits within theLondon Borough of Camden, and most of NW1 carries the architectural character of an earlier London — original cornicing, panelled doors, deep skirtings, sash windows, and rooms that were proportioned to a different way of living. Metro designs around these features rather than over them. Where a wardrobe meets cornicing, we scribe; where it meets a panelled door, we leave shadow gaps; where the room was built before standard sizes existed, we template every piece to fit the room you actually have.

Core service Fitted wardrobes in Camden Town

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in NW1. Six door collections across hinged, sliding and walk-in builds. Every unit is cut to the room's actual dimensions and delivered in sections small enough for a narrow staircase. Where original cornicing exists, the wardrobe stops below it with a clean shadow gap.

18mm carcasses, doors from our six collections, painted in any of our 100+ colours.

Whole-home commissions Fitted kitchens in Camden Town

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our NW1 kitchen work is in period houses: galley kitchens being opened into the dining room, side-return extensions, and cabinetry that has to slot in around the original chimney breast and services. We build the cabinetry. You choose worktops, appliances and splashbacks.

London manufacturing · NW1 design

What Camden Town homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Camden Town's housing is older, narrower and more layered than most London neighbourhoods — Georgian terraces with original cornicing, Victorian terraces with awkward staircases, canal-side warehouse conversions with services-bulkhead ceilings. Three design constraints define almost every NW1 commission we manufacture, and they shape how our workshop in Wembley cuts, joins and finishes each piece.

Period properties Camden Town design constraint · 01

Original cornicing and panelling deserve to stay.

The Camden Town problem

Camden Town's Georgian and Victorian terraces — particularly the older streets around Albert Street, Arlington Road, and Camden Square — carry original plaster cornicing, deep skirtings, and panelled detailing that gives the rooms their character. Mass-produced wardrobes solve their ceiling problem by overrunning the cornicing or boxing it in. The room loses what made it worth buying.

Metro's design answer

Our designer measures to the underside of the cornicing on the home visit, not to the ceiling. The Wembley workshop cuts the wardrobe carcase to stop cleanly below the cornicing with an 8mm shadow gap, so the period profile remains fully visible and uninterrupted. Skirting is either preserved beneath, scribed around, or replaced with matched profile if needed.

Georgian terraces Camden Town design constraint · 02

Three-storey Georgian staircases reject standard wardrobe panels.

The Camden Town problem

Camden Town's Georgian and early-Victorian terraces are tall but narrow. A typical staircase between ground and first floor is 700–850mm wide, with a sharp turn at the half-landing. Standard pre-assembled wardrobe panels — usually 600 to 1200mm wide — physically cannot navigate the bend. Off-the-shelf flatpack brands either refuse the job or damage the staircase trying.

Metro's manufacturing answer

Our designer measures every staircase, doorway and bend on the home visit. The Wembley factory then cuts the wardrobe carcases into 400mm modular sections — small enough to negotiate three floors of Georgian staircase by hand. Our fitters assemble and join the sections in your bedroom. The finished wardrobe reads as a single seamless piece.

Canal-side Camden Town design constraint · 03

Camden Lock conversions hide a 600mm drop behind the perimeter ceiling.

The Camden Town problem

The warehouse conversions around Camden Lock, Hawley Wharf, and the Regent's Canal industrial belt look like loft-style flats with 3-metre ceilings. They are — in the middle of the room. But around the perimeter, where the wardrobes go, services-bulkheads typically drop the usable ceiling to around 2.4m to conceal new ductwork, sprinklers and plumbing required for the conversion. Mass-produced wardrobes built to full ceiling height won't fit.

Metro's manufacturing answer

On the home visit we measure the bulkhead height, not the room height, and confirm the depth of any service drops along the wardrobe wall. The Wembley workshop builds the carcases to the bulkhead dimension, with a clean shadow gap at the top. The wardrobe sits flush below the bulkhead and reads as deliberate, not compromised.

How Camden Town homes actually use Metro

Four common Camden Town wardrobe scenarios.

Most NW1 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.

Scenario 01

Victorian terrace master bedroom with chimney breast alcoves

The situation: Couple in a four-bedroom Victorian terrace near Kentish Town High Street. The master bedroom had a chimney breast with mismatched alcoves either side, original cornicing they wanted to protect, and a window bay eating into one wall. Two national-chain quotes had failed already. One wanted to box the cornicing in. The other proposed standard 800mm carcases that wouldn't fit either alcove.

What they got: Two alcove wardrobes from our Shaker range, each templated independently. Hand-painted in Wimborne White. Cornicing left fully exposed with a clean shadow gap above each unit. Pull-down hanging rails inside, soft-close drawers, motion-sensor LED. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.

Range: Shaker Project size: ~£5,400

Scenario 02

Georgian house spare bedroom converted to walk-in dressing room

The situation: Owner of a three-storey Georgian house off Camden Square wanted to convert the smallest bedroom, originally a nursery, into a proper walk-in dressing room. National brands wanted to put full-height units on three walls, which would have shrunk the room. The narrow staircase also ruled out delivering anything pre-assembled.

What they got: Walk-in layout built around a central island drawer unit, with open hanging on two walls. Carcases cut into 400mm sections at the workshop and assembled in the room by our fitters. French Grey, brushed-brass handles. Mirror-fronted central pillar with LED running the perimeter. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.

Range: Walk-In Project size: ~£8,200

Scenario 03

Camden Lock warehouse conversion with services-bulkhead ceiling

The situation: Young professional in a one-bedroom canal-side flat near Camden Lock. The bedroom had a 3-metre ceiling height in the centre, but the wall where the wardrobe was going had a 600mm services-bulkhead drop running the full length. Standard full-height wardrobes wouldn't fit. Building everything to 2.4m would have wasted the room's best feature.

What they got: Floor-to-bulkhead Sliding Wardrobe in fluted oak veneer with smoked-bronze frames. Sits flush below the services drop with a precise shadow gap above. One mirror panel doubled the perceived width of the room. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.

Range: Sliding Door Project size: ~£6,800

Scenario 04

Parkway mansion block — full media wall with hidden storage

The situation: Family in a two-bedroom mansion-block flat off Parkway. The living room had high ceilings and good proportions but no built-in storage. The TV sat on a freestanding unit that looked like it had moved in with them and never left. They wanted a media wall that looked like it had always been part of the room, plus concealed storage for board games, books and the cable mess.

What they got: Full-wall media unit with a central TV recess, floor-to-ceiling alcove cabinets either side for closed storage, open shelving above the TV for books and objects. Hand-painted in deep green to lift the existing room. Cable management routed behind the back panel, soft-close push-to-open drawers below, LED on the open shelves. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.

Range: TV/Media + Alcove Project size: ~£7,400

“Highly recommend them! Their service and products are excellent, and the staff is always professional and knowledgeable. Our designer, Nassy, visited our house and took measurements. We later met her at their showroom, where we were able to see the quality of the material and choose the colours. Nassy also sent us a 3D render of what the wardrobe would look like, which helped us visualize the end product. The fitting team was a delight! They made sure we were happy with the end result and left the apartment immaculately clean. We're looking forward to Metro working on our other bedroom furniture!”

“Top company. Very professional. Super clean work. The build quality. The design phase and customer service is the best around.

Camden Town: common questions

A few things NW1 clients tend to ask.

How does Metro work with original cornicing and panelled doors?

We measure to the underside of the cornicing, not to the ceiling. The carcase stops cleanly below it with an 8mm shadow gap, so the cornicing stays fully visible. If a panelled door or architrave intersects the wardrobe run, we either scribe around it or align the unit to the existing trim line. Whatever made the room worth buying gets to stay.

Will your wardrobe panels fit up my Georgian staircase?

Yes. We measure your staircase, doorways, half-landings and turns on the design visit. The workshop then cuts each carcase into 400mm modular sections. Small enough to go up three floors of Georgian staircase without scuffing anything. Our fitters join the sections in your bedroom. Once the doors go on, you can't see the joins.

My ceiling drops around the perimeter. Can you still fit a full-height wardrobe?

If you're in a Camden Lock or Hawley Wharf warehouse conversion, services-bulkheads often drop the perimeter ceiling to around 2.4m even when the room's centre is 3m. We measure the bulkhead, not the room, and build to that dimension with a clean shadow gap above. The wardrobe sits flush below the drop, which makes it look intended rather than compromised.

How much does a fitted wardrobe in Camden Town cost?

Most NW1 wardrobe projects fall between £3,800 and £8,500. The variables are size, range, finish and internal fit-out. A single-wall wardrobe across a typical Victorian bedroom (roughly 3.2m wide) in our Shaker range with painted MDF and brass handles starts around £4,200. A walk-in dressing room in a mansion-block spare bedroom runs £6,500 to £9,500. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you sign anything. No moving prices.

How long does a Camden Town wardrobe project take?

Your 3D design and itemised quotation arrive within two to three days of the home visit. Once you approve it, the wardrobe is made in our Wembley workshop and fitted within 21 days, usually one to two days on site for a single wardrobe and a little longer for a full bedroom suite. You get a confirmed fitting date when you sign off the design, not a window.

Can I see and feel the materials before ordering?

Yes. Your designer brings physical samples to the home visit: door fronts, paint swatches, veneer cuts, brass / nickel / black handle samples. For the full range, our Wembley showroom has every range on display alongside live builds in progress. Visits by appointment, Monday to Saturday.

What if my Camden flat has awkward angles or odd spaces?

Awkward spaces are where fitted furniture earns its name. Sloped ceilings, alcoves either side of a chimney breast, dormer recesses, under-stairs storage, the dead zone above a doorway. Every piece is measured on-site and built bespoke. Off-the-shelf carcase modules don't appear in any Metro project.

How does delivery and installation work in Camden Town?

Our installation team arrives in a single van with the wardrobe pre-cut, pre-finished and labelled. Floor protection goes down before any tools come out. Install takes one to four days depending on size. The room gets swept clean each evening. There's a final walk-through with you before we leave. Any minor adjustment in the first 12 months is on us. The 10-year guarantee starts the day we leave.

Do you make fitted kitchens for Camden Town homes too?

Yes. We build kitchen cabinetry alongside the wardrobe and bedroom range. The bulk of our NW1 kitchen work is in Victorian galleys being opened up, and in canal-side conversions where the cabinetry has to slot around immovable services. We make the cabinetry. You source worktops, appliances and splashbacks separately.

What's the difference between Metro and a national chain?

Three things. First, we make in London. Our workshop is in Wembley, not a Midlands factory. Second, every wardrobe is cut for your room. We don't assemble pre-made carcase modules. Third, the team that designs, builds and fits is all ours. No subcontractors. When the 10-year guarantee comes due, you ring one company you can visit, not a support line.
