Mastering your walls
Our picture hanging service covers Kensington, Kensington Square, the Phillimore Estate and the wider W8 area. We’re a London-based team of 14 gallery-trained installers and curators, rated five stars on Google and featured on BBC DIY SOS. From a single piece in a Kensington Square townhouse to a 40-piece install across a Phillimore Gardens residence, we bring the same meticulous approach to every job.
Working in Kensington's Palace-side terraces and Phillimore Estate
Kensington is the W8 stretch between Kensington Gardens to the north, Holland Park to the west and Knightsbridge to the south. The Royal residence at Kensington Palace anchors the north side, with Kensington Gardens reaching across to Hyde Park.
The Phillimore Estate is the area’s most distinctive residential cluster — large white stucco terraces around Phillimore Gardens, Phillimore Place, Stafford Terrace and Argyll Road, with the consistent architectural character that comes from a single Victorian estate development. Kensington Square is the area’s oldest residential square (1685), with Queen Anne and Georgian houses in a quiet enclave behind the High Street.
Mansion blocks line Kensington High Street, Kensington Court and Kensington Court Place, with red-brick Edwardian construction and solid masonry behind the plaster. We work across all three sub-markets, and we’ll always confirm the wall type before drilling.
