Fitted furniture for Hampstead, made 5 miles away in Wembley.

Hampstead is one of London's most architecturally protected neighbourhoods. Georgian and early-Victorian houses on the village lanes, grand red-brick mansion flats along Fitzjohn's Avenue and around Belsize, and loft conversions tucked into the larger period homes. Much of NW3 sits within a conservation area, so the original detail matters. Our workshop in Wembley HA9 is five miles west of Hampstead, which means a designer can be at your home without booking half a day for the journey. Every piece is built for your room. Nothing comes pre-cut to a standard size. Services for NW3 homes · Wembley workshop

Core serviceFitted wardrobes in Hampstead

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in NW3. Ten ranges across hinged, sliding, and walk-in builds. Every unit is cut to your room's actual dimensions. In a typical Hampstead Victorian bedroom, that usually means two independent alcove wardrobes flanking a chimney breast, each one templated to fit alcoves that are almost never the same width.

Whole-home commissionsFitted kitchens in Hampstead

Fitted Kitchens

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A large share of our NW3 kitchen work happens in period houses being opened up at the rear, and in the mansion-block galley kitchens around Belsize and Swiss Cottage where the cabinetry has to slot in around existing services. We build the cabinetry. You choose worktops, appliances, and splashbacks.

Living & Media Walls

A category that's grown a lot since 2020. Media walls in double reception rooms, home offices in the box room, alcove cabinets flanking original Victorian fireplaces, full bedroom suites. Most of these come up as a second project once the wardrobes are in.

London manufacturing · NW3 design

What Hampstead homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Hampstead's housing has recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on a NW3 project.

Victorian chimney breasts produce asymmetric alcoves.
Most common Hampstead design constraint · 01

Victorian chimney breasts produce asymmetric alcoves.

The Hampstead problem

Much of Hampstead's housing is Victorian and Georgian terrace. The chimneys were built to fireplace logic, not to symmetry. The two alcoves either side of a chimney breast rarely match, usually by 20 to 40mm. Off-the-shelf wardrobes won't sit cleanly in either one. National brands tend to solve this with a filler strip down one side, which looks exactly like what it is.

Metro's manufacturing answer

On the home visit, our designer measures each alcove independently. Width, depth, out-of-plumb, all noted separately. The workshop then cuts two separate units to those exact dimensions. The finished pair reads as matched. The carcases inside them are bespoke to your wall.

Original picture rails are worth keeping. Wardrobes stop below them.
Period detail Hampstead design constraint · 02

Original picture rails are worth keeping. Wardrobes stop below them.

The Hampstead problem

Most period homes in NW3 still have their original picture rails and cornicing, often at around 2.05m. They give the room its proportion and they're a feature buyers actively look for. National brands solve their ceiling problem by running the wardrobe straight over the rail. The room loses a hundred-year-old detail in an afternoon.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We scribe the top course of the wardrobe to stop cleanly at the rail line. The workshop cuts the top panel to your room's precise rail height. On-site, our fitter scribes the final 2mm adjustment by hand. The rail stays. The cornice above it stays. The room keeps its character.

Hampstead loft conversions are built around the existing roof, not a blank slate.
Loft conversions Hampstead design constraint · 03

Hampstead loft conversions are built around the existing roof, not a blank slate.

The Hampstead problem

The loft conversions across NW3 sit beneath rafters that are often a century old, not modern factory-cut timber. The as-built slope angle drifts 30 to 80mm from the architect's drawing, because the original rafters were never perfectly straight. Pre-made loft furniture leaves a finger-wide gap where the slope meets the unit.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We site-measure the slope angle on the home visit, using a digital level. Never from the building plans alone. The workshop cuts the eaves panels and apex doors to that actual angle. The finished storage follows the real roof. No filler strips, no shadow gaps where they shouldn't be. From our workshop to your home How Metro works with Hampstead.

How Hampstead homes actually use Metro

Common Hampstead wardrobe scenarios.

Most NW3 enquiries fall into a handful of 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-storey Victorian terrace off Rosslyn Hill. The master bedroom had a chimney breast with alcoves either side that measured 980mm and 945mm respectively. Original picture rail at 2.05m and cornicing they wanted to keep. Two national-chain quotes had failed already. One wanted to run a single wardrobe wall over the rail. The other proposed standard 1000mm carcases that wouldn't sit cleanly in either alcove.

What they got: Two alcove wardrobes from our Shaker range, each templated independently to its own alcove. Hand-painted in Farrow & Ball Wimborne White. Picture rail and cornicing preserved, with the top course scribed cleanly below them. Pull-down hanging rails inside, soft-close drawers, motion-sensor LED. Seven weeks from first visit to install.

Range: Shaker Project size: ~£7,500
Scenario 02

Loft conversion master suite with eaves storage

The situation: Family in a large Victorian house who had converted the loft into a master suite. Rooms with the classic loft geometry: 1.1m eaves on one side rising to a 2.4m apex, slope angle around 36°. National brands wanted to fit standard full-height units that wasted the eaves entirely. The architect's drawing of the slope didn't match the actual rafters by about 50mm.

What they got: A bank of low drawers running the full length of the eaves wall, hinged doors stepping up to the apex on the gable end. Slope angle templated on-site with a digital level, not from the plans. Carcases cut at the workshop to that exact angle. Little Greene French Grey, brushed-brass handles. Six weeks, start to finish.

Range: Loft & Eaves Project size: ~£7,200
Scenario 03

Belsize mansion-block flat with low light and a deep hallway

The situation: Young professional in a one-bedroom mansion-block flat near Belsize Park. The bedroom had only one window facing a light well, and the hallway leading to it was long and dark. They wanted a wardrobe that didn't make the room any darker, plus storage in the hallway without it feeling closed in. Standard hinged wardrobes would have eaten what little daylight there was.

What they got: Floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobe in the bedroom with brass-framed mirror panels reflecting the window. A second slim mirror-sliding unit in the hallway, doubling the apparent depth. Fluted oak interior visible behind the brass frames. Five weeks from design visit to keys back.

Range: Mirrored Sliders Project size: ~£7,500
Scenario 04

Period reception room: full media wall with hidden storage

The situation: Family in a Victorian house who'd knocked the two reception rooms together and were left with a long blank wall opposite the bay window. 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. Seven weeks.

Range: TV/Media + Alcove Project size: ~£8,400
