In recent years, we’ve seen a resurgence of a classic kitchen feature in London homes: the larder. This traditional storage solution is making a big comeback, adapted for modern living and bringing a touch of vintage charm to contemporary London kitchens.
Why Larders are Perfect for London Homes:
- Efficient Storage: Maximise space in compact city kitchens
- Aesthetic Appeal: Add character to new-builds and period properties alike
- Customisable: Can be tailored to fit any space or style
Types of Larders for London Living:
- Walk-in Pantries Ideal for larger homes in areas like Hampstead or Richmond, walk-in pantries offer ample storage and a luxurious feel.
- Freestanding Larders Perfect for renters or those in listed buildings, these can be moved easily and add a charming, rustic touch to any kitchen.
- Built-in Larders Seamlessly integrate storage into your existing kitchen design, popular in modern flats across Canary Wharf and Shoreditch.
- Corner Larders Make use of awkward corners in Victorian terraces or converted flats with specially designed corner units.
Larder Must-Haves for the London Foodie:
- Spice racks for your international cuisine adventures
- Wine storage for those special bottles from Borough Market
- Cheese drawer for your artisanal finds from Neal’s Yard
- Bread bin to keep your sourdough from E5 Bakehouse fresh
Sustainability Bonus: Larders can help reduce food waste by keeping ingredients visible and well-organised, perfect for eco-conscious Londoners.
