Let’s introduce you to the best shops, restaurants and attractions we’ve decorated, just off the Kings Road, in the Chelsea-Fulham neighbourhoods.
Here are some of our wonderful family/work-places around our fondly encountered west London.
Around Fulham Road. A hidden gem of a road with lots of fab stores and eateries exactly where you need them.

NGS: A LETTERING FAMILY HISTORY
Over recent years and since the mid eighties I have frequently been asked to paint the signs on the shops around Chelsea and Kensington. It’s a part of the world that holds rich memories and family history.
With its distinctive laid back atmosphere created by truly local shops, fine homes and cafes, Fulham was also home to Bakers of Fulham stone restorators – my family owned heritage and a legacy of letter carvers.

TODAY: MAKING HOUSE NUMBERING MASTERPIECES
So if you want truly masterfully made lettering, then my great grandfather saw to it that I became successor and surrounded me with a great lettering culture, full of arts influencers and typographers.

I first came to Fulham to sign write in 1986 and since then I have never ceased writing house numbers, shop signs and drinking in the architectural essence of this wonderful part of London. If you want authentic lettering then it is in my hands. Nick Garrett
