Galley kitchens designed and built for South Hampstead flats and villas — two efficient runs that make the most of a narrow footprint, with bespoke joinery and proper ventilation.

A galley kitchen — two parallel runs of units with a working corridor between — is often the most efficient layout for the narrow kitchens found in South Hampstead’s period conversion and mansion flats. Where the room will not take an island, a well-planned galley delivers more storage and worktop than any other arrangement.
The art is in the detail: the corridor width, the order of the appliances, where the extraction goes and how the light works. In a converted villa the room is rarely a clean rectangle, so the joinery has to be made to fit chimney breasts, service risers and uneven walls rather than dropped in from a showroom — and in a leasehold flat, service changes need freeholder consent.
We design the galley around how you actually cook, build the cabinetry bespoke to the room, secure any consent, and handle the electrics, plumbing, ventilation and finishes in one contract — so a tight footprint still feels considered and calm, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.
A galley succeeds on planning discipline — widths, sequence and services in a narrow room.
The working corridor has to be wide enough to use two runs safely — we plan it to the millimetre.
Period and converted kitchens are rarely square; the joinery is made to fit chimney breasts and risers.
A galley concentrates cooking in a small space, so ducted extraction is designed in, not added on.
In a leasehold flat, freeholder consent and shared services shape what can move — we work within them.
