Greater London
Shop awnings and blinds in Greater London
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in London can ask us to match a fascia box to their Greater London premises.
Cafes in London can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Greater London premises need. If your Greater London window faces the sun, an awning can limit fading on stock and make the front of the shop more comfortable.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.
Do I need planning permission for a shop awning?
Often yes in England, since an awning can change the appearance of the frontage, and lettering on it can need advertisement consent. Highway approval can also apply. Listed buildings need extra consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check before ordering.
Can I put my logo on an awning?
Yes. Logos and names can be printed or sign-written on the cover or valance. In England, advertising on an awning can count as a sign, so check the advertisement rules, particularly on listed buildings or in conservation areas. We send a proof before the fabric is made up.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
