Traditional Railing Designs for London Period Homes
Traditional London railings share a common language: vertical bars in square or round profile, decorative finials and a black-painted finish. Browse the traditional designs in the catalogue and configure your project online.
The London railing language
Most London period railings are 16mm or 18mm square mild steel bars, spaced at 100mm to 120mm centres, between 900mm and 1100mm tall, with a decorative finial and a black gloss or satin finish. Our enquiry form follows this language by default.
Heritage considerations
For listed buildings or strict conservation areas, your council may want a specific finial shape, paint colour or bar thickness. Submit your address and photographs with the enquiry and our review team will flag heritage requirements.
Restoring matching railings
If neighbours have existing railings you want to match, photograph them from the street and upload the images with your enquiry. We'll review the proportions and finial choice.
Common questions
- Can you match a railing from photos alone?
- Often yes, for straightforward designs. For unusual or ornate originals our review team will ask for more detail or measurements during admin review.
