Notting Hill’s gardens deserve lighting that complements the area’s character, from Portobello Road Market to Notting Hill Gate. We create layered night-time scenes with path lighting for safe routes, spotlights for feature planting, and wall lights that add a soft glow to terraces. Whether you want discreet deck lights for entertaining or festive festoon lighting for summer gatherings, we tailor the look to your layout. Every scheme is planned to reduce glare and highlight texture, colour and structure.
We regularly work across W11, including Holland Park and Ladbroke Grove, where outdoor spaces range from compact courtyard gardens to larger townhouse rear gardens. Pastel-painted Victorian townhouses often suit elegant uplighting on brickwork and architectural details, while mews houses benefit from slimline fittings and carefully placed wall lights. Mansion conversions can have shared access and sensitive boundaries, so we design with neighbour-friendly light levels. Our team balances style with practicality, keeping cables hidden and finishes consistent with period features.
Our process starts with an evening-focused design plan, then a clear proposal covering fittings, cabling routes and control options. We install neatly with minimal disruption, test light levels on site, and fine-tune beam angles so the result feels natural. You’ll get straightforward guidance on maintenance, timers and smart scenes, plus documentation for your system. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship, and lighting that looks considered rather than overdone.
The garden lighting Notting Hill area often involves tight access, controlled parking, and careful cable routing through established planting. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we plan deliveries and installation times to suit residential streets and mews lanes. We also account for shaded courtyards and mature trees that affect brightness and solar performance. Fittings are selected to suit period façades and to keep light spill considerate for neighbouring properties.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable runs and control system. As a guide, a small setup for a courtyard garden (6–10 lights with a basic transformer) often falls around £1,200–£2,500. Medium schemes for townhouse gardens with path lighting, uplighting and wall lights are commonly £2,500–£6,000. Larger, fully layered designs with smart controls and premium fittings can be £6,000–£12,000+.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on the size of the garden and how much cabling needs to be concealed. A simple path lighting run can be completed in a day, while a multi-zone scheme with deck lights, wall lights and smart controls may take several days including testing and aiming. Timescales are affected by access, existing hard landscaping, and whether we’re working around mature planting or shared entrances.
In many cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-level fittings within the garden. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where lighting is fixed to certain elevations. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on suitable fitting locations, and can help you check RBKC guidance where needed. We also design to minimise glare and light spill for neighbours.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installation, covering issues such as cable routing, connections and fitting placement. Individual light fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which we register and document for you. If a fault occurs, we diagnose whether it’s a component issue or an installation matter and resolve it promptly. We’ll also show you how to maintain and adjust the system safely.
We offer a wide range of styles, from contemporary stainless and black powder-coated fittings to more traditional lantern-style wall lights. Popular choices include warm-white LED path lighting, narrow-beam spotlights for trees, subtle deck lights for steps, and festoon lighting for dining areas. You can choose mains, low-voltage, solar options, and smart controls with app-based scenes and timers. We’ll recommend beam angles and colour temperatures to suit your planting and architecture.
