THE STUDIO

A family studio, not a franchise.

Name: Victoria Kitchens
Price range: $$

Victoria Kitchens is a family-run design and installation studio in Greenwich, owned by Stefan and Simona. Stefan and our Senior Designer Bernard bring 30 years of combined experience, and although our showroom opened in 2022, we work with trusted British and German manufacturing partners to deliver kitchens built to last. The same small team takes you from first consultation to final installation.

Our story

A workshop in Europe, a decade fitting for London's best, then a small studio of our own.

Stefan spent over a decade fitting kitchens for some of London’s best-known retailers before starting Victoria Kitchens. He saw the difference between a kitchen designed for the showroom floor and one designed for the way a family actually cooks, and built the studio to make the second kind.

Stefan still visits every site. Simona runs the studio and handles the things nobody tells you a renovation involves. Bernard, our senior designer, spent two decades at John Lewis, Habitat, Magnet and Kutchenhaus before joining us; clients describe him as patient, thorough, and quietly very good at his job.

The same three people are on every project, start to finish. We’re a small family studio with strong relationships with five manufacturers in Britain and Germany, and the work tends to speak for itself.

What we stand for

Four things we won’t compromise on, regardless of the budget or the brief. If these don’t sound right, we are almost certainly not the right studio for you.

Itemised pricing

Every quote lists every component, appliance and installation. No moved targets, no surprise invoices.

One team, start to finish

The designer who draws it is the designer you meet at the showroom. The fitter who installs it is one of ours, not a subcontractor.

No pressure, ever

We will never chase you for a deposit before you’ve seen every number. A kitchen is a ten-year decision, made at your pace.

After-care included

A snagging visit after the first month of use, a five-year minimum guarantee on cabinetry, the same phone number you called on day one.

Victoria Kitchens, our story

1994

A workshop in Europe

Stefan begins his career making bespoke kitchen and bedroom furniture by hand. The training that still shapes how every Victoria Kitchen is built today.

2010

London, on the tools

Stefan moves to the UK and spends years installing for some of London's most respected kitchen companies. Learning the British market from the inside out.

2022

Victoria Kitchens, founded

Stefan and Simona open the Charlton Riverside showroom on Woolwich Road. Twelve full kitchens, a proper drawing studio, and a permanent home for the studio.

Today

A studio of six

Stefan, Simona, Bernard and Cristian in the studio. Vanya and Ruslan on site. British and German cabinetry, fitted by the same studio that designed it. Backed by a two-year guarantee.

Where our kitchens are made

British & German. Nothing in between.

We work with five manufacturers we know personally. Some we’ve been with for more than fifteen years. The right maker for the right kitchen, never a factory we haven’t walked through.

Victoria Kitchens, our partners

Britain

Hand-painted Caledonia

A long-standing British workshop partner. Spraying and hand-painting framed cabinetry to any Farrow & Ball colour. Solid tulipwood and oak, mortise-and-tenon jointed.

Caledonia also produces modern, slab-front cabinetry, so the same British craftsmanship works for handleless kitchens too.

Germany

Rotpunkt, Bauformat, Nobilia

Three German manufacturers we trust for precision handleless cabinetry, XL pan drawers, integrated lighting, and the kind of tolerances that make flush fronts sit perfectly flush.

We also offer our own cabinetry, German built at our instruction with a price that is hard to beat.

Appliances

AEG Premier Partner

Showroom displays feature AEG, Neff, Bora, Liebherr, Caple, Quooker and Siemens Studio Line. Working, mounted, open to try. Not printed in a brochure.

Surfaces

Dekton, Silestone, Sensa

Worktops from Cosentino and Quartzforms in porcelain, quartz and sintered stone. Solid timber and unbranded specialist slabs available on request, all templated and fabricated by our stone partner in London.

Feedback

What our clients say...

"From start to finish, the experience with Victoria Kitchens was fantastic. The company has a real family feel, they’ve been working together for many years now and you can tell they genuinely care about the results and keeping their customers happy. I’m so glad I chose a more independent company; the difference in personal service really shows. "
