What Metro manufactures for Hampstead.
Three product categories, made in one workshop. Click through to browse the full range.
Fitted Wardrobes
The most common job we do in NW3. Six door collections 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.
18mm carcasses, doors from our six collections, painted in any of our 100+ colours.
Fitted Kitchens & Utilities
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.
Hand-painted in-frame or slab fronts, soft-close drawers, dovetailed solid-oak boxes available.
Living & Working Spaces
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.
Integrated LED lighting, hidden cable management, matched to existing joinery.
What Hampstead homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.
Hampstead's housing is older and more protected than most of London. Victorian and Georgian terraces with original cornicing and panelling, picture rails worth keeping, and the loft conversions that have gone into the larger houses. Below are the three constraints that come up on almost every NW3 project, and how our workshop handles them.
Victorian chimney breasts produce asymmetric alcoves.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Which Metro ranges fit Hampstead homes best?
The ranges we recommend more than any others in NW3, based on what the area's property actually demands.

Mirrored Sliders
Best for flatsFloor-to-ceiling sliders for the mansion-block flats around Belsize and Swiss Cottage. Brass-framed mirror panels open the room up where windows are limited. Walnut, smoked oak, or fluted glass alternatives.
Eaves & Loft Storage
Best for loftsBuilt for the loft conversions that have gone in across NW3 since the 1990s. Drawer banks under the 1.2m eaves, hinged doors rising to the apex. Cut to the real roof slope, not the architect's plan.
Heritage Painted
Best for period homesFor Hampstead's conservation-area streets and listed houses. In-frame doors, hand-painted, sits naturally with original picture rails, cornicing and panelled detail.

Four common Hampstead wardrobe scenarios.
Most NW3 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.
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 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. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.
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. French Grey, brushed-brass handles. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.
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. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.
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. Fitted within 21 days of design sign-off.
Trusted by London homeowners
“Good price, great team and good quality work. I liked to work with the whole Metro team for my sliding wardrobe. They provided full support from fitted design, pricing and until assembly with no hassle. They also provided shorter lead time compare to others. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent from start to finish!! James visited on Saturday to quote and design. On Monday I called to book and today (Wed) 3 people of his team completed my fitted wardrobe. Team was very clean and mindful when moving things around and did an amazing job. Expectations met and exceeded at a very good price. Definitely recommend for high standards.”
“We had 2 wardrobes and a dressing table fitted from Metro. The fitters were very friendly and professional. The fitting team was also knowledgeable and they finished everything sooner than expected. The dressing table was left off of the order, but has been ordered and fitted in few days. Really impressed with the turnaround time with Metro. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend them.”
