Our Design Process
We have a complete inventory stock of much loved conservation ranges of classical London lettering and numeral styles. A collection started by my grandfather in 1986.
All original styles, continue to be gathered from around town, spanning 4 decades.
NGS Curated Archives
These are now conserved in final drawings and Auto-Cad files and can be viewed at NGS ON THE INSIDE – please feel free to request a passkey.
Always In-house and completely bespoke.
THE FineST London House Numbers
BY-HAND & AUTHENTIC IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY.
We never use commercial fonts… they’re not of the standard that we demand. So we make our own.
Our custom lettering designs are making people, known and even famous today, across all London. Garnered from hundreds of our bespoke crafted projects.
Historic painted numbers meticulously restored by us, into sets of museum quality architectural alphabets.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Each of the house numbers and titles on this page have a story to tell. Most have been created from examples found fading away, on beautifiul old London locations.
Rekindled from aged examples, still discoverable around town: these rare examples are rapidly vanishing under the strain of constant redevelopment, yet remain pretty much our sacred vintage examples.
We bring them home by either taking tracings or detailed images: These are then restored in our studio, exactly as per the hand of the original artists, and kept in our font archive to use on your projects.
All artworks or fonts are made for each project… rest assured your artwork will be absolutely unique to your home.
House numbers finely painted by hand.
