Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Holland Park.
A commercial fit-out is judged on one thing: whether the doors open on the date agreed. We have fitted out cafés, patisseries, restaurants and shops across London, including units in stations where working hours are tightly controlled, and we plan every job backwards from the opening date.
The work covers design and drawings, the landlord's approval, planning permission for shopfronts and signage, building control, and the fit-out itself: partitions, services, extraction, counters and joinery, flooring, lighting and decoration. Where the unit is trading, we build joinery off site and install overnight.
For a unit in Holland Park we start with the lease and the landlord's requirements, check what the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea will need for the shopfront and any change of use, and then agree a fixed programme with you.

Holland Park: the houses and the planning rules.
Holland Park has the largest houses in west London: detached Italianate villas on Holland Park itself and Addison Road, the studio houses built for Victorian painters on Melbury Road, and the stucco crescents of Norland. Plots are generous, gardens are deep and the planning authority protects both.
The work we see here is at the top end of the residential market: whole-house refurbishments with new services, basements under the larger villas, garden rooms and pool houses, and interiors finished to a standard that matches the architecture. Programmes run for months, and coordination with neighbours and the borough is part of the job.
The Norland, Holland Park and Royal Crescent conservation areas cover the district, and many of the villas are listed.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. Detached villas are assessed on their setting within the conservation area, and roof extensions and side additions are tightly controlled.
Basements
Large plots make basements possible but the borough's single-storey, half-garden limit still applies, with a full impact assessment.
Listed studio houses
The Melbury Road studio houses are listed; internal changes need listed building consent and specialist heritage input.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Holland Park.
Internal fit-out rarely needs planning permission, but new shopfronts, signage and changes of use do, and landlords have their own approval process. Food premises need extraction and drainage designed to building regulations and environmental health requirements.

Yes. We plan the programme around your opening hours and the landlord's rules, building joinery off site and installing overnight where necessary.
Do I need permission for a new shopfront?
