Upholstery Services in Central London
Our workshop sits on Tottenham Court Road in the heart of Fitzrovia, WC1E 6HP. If you live or work in Central London, your furniture has the shortest possible journey to expert hands.
Your Local Upholstery Workshop
Kennington Upholstery has been serving Central London from our Fitzrovia workshop for years. We are not a middleman or a booking platform. Every piece of furniture is worked on by our own upholsterers, in our own workshop, a short walk from Goodge Street and Warren Street stations. That proximity means you can visit to discuss your project in person, see fabric samples under natural light, and check progress on your piece if you wish.
We offer the full range of upholstery services: reupholstery, antique restoration, furniture repair, bespoke headboards, commercial upholstery, and cushion replacement. Whether you have a Victorian nursing chair that needs traditional hand-stuffing or a modern sofa that needs recovering in a performance fabric, we handle it.
With 304 five-star Google reviews, our reputation has been built piece by piece. We do not cut corners. Every reupholstery job starts with a full strip-down to the bare frame, inspection and repair of every joint, new webbing and springs where needed, and careful fitting of your chosen fabric from our library of over 12,000 options.
Neighbourhoods We Serve
From our Tottenham Court Road base, we serve every neighbourhood in Central London. Collection and delivery is straightforward when distances are short. Most pickups in the following areas can be arranged within a few days of accepting your quote:
- •Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury: Our immediate neighbours. Many clients walk pieces to the workshop themselves for smaller items like dining chairs.
- •Soho and Covent Garden: Five minutes by van. We handle a lot of commercial work for restaurants, bars, and hotels in the West End.
- •Marylebone and Mayfair: A short trip west. Period townhouses here often have antique pieces that benefit from traditional restoration methods.
- •Holborn, King's Cross and Euston: Just up the road. The redevelopment around King's Cross has brought many new residents who want quality furniture that lasts.
Collection, Delivery and Workshop Visits
For larger pieces like sofas and armchairs, we arrange collection from your home or office. Our team wraps and protects everything for transport. Central London collections are typically same-week once you confirm your quote, because we are not crossing the city to reach you.
If you prefer, you are welcome to visit the workshop. Seeing the range of fabrics in person makes a real difference. Swatches look different under artificial light versus daylight, and our workshop has both. We keep over 12,000 fabric samples and 200+ leathers on site from suppliers including Warwick. You can also order free fabric samples posted to your door if you would rather choose from home.
Delivery follows the same careful approach as collection. We bring your finished piece back, position it where you want it, and take away any packaging. For Central London addresses, delivery is usually arranged within a day or two of the work being completed.
Commercial Upholstery in the West End
Central London is home to thousands of restaurants, hotels, private members' clubs, and offices. Seating in commercial settings takes a beating and needs regular attention. We work with venues across Soho, Covent Garden, Mayfair, and Fitzrovia to keep their upholstered furniture looking sharp without the cost of full replacement.
Commercial reupholstery can often be scheduled around your trading hours. We collect on quiet days, turn pieces around in the workshop, and deliver them back before the next service. For larger projects, we phase the work so you never lose all your seating at once. Our proximity to the West End makes this logistically simple in a way that workshops further out cannot match.
What Makes Kennington Upholstery Different
We are a proper workshop, not a franchise or a middleman. Your furniture stays in our Fitzrovia premises from start to finish. You can call and speak to the person working on your piece. That directness keeps quality high and miscommunication low.
Our 304 five-star reviews speak for themselves. Clients come back because the work lasts. We use the right materials for each job: English webbing and horsehair for traditional pieces, high-resilience foam and modern suspensions where appropriate. We never bodge a quick fix on a piece that needs a proper rebuild.
Every project starts with an honest assessment. If your piece is not worth the investment, we will tell you. If a simpler repair will do the job, we will suggest that instead of a full reupholstery. Our aim is to give you the best outcome for your budget.
