Pergolas in
East London
Pressure treated and hardwood pergolas built for East London gardens. From a simple shaded structure to a full outdoor dining room with integrated lighting.
East London Gardens Are Made for Pergolas
The long, narrow rear gardens typical of Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Walthamstow, Leyton, Hackney, and Chingford are — perhaps unexpectedly — well-suited to pergola installations. A pergola doesn't need a large footprint. It creates a defined outdoor dining or living space at the rear of the garden, making an underused end-of-plot feel like an extension of the house.
Pergolas are one of the most popular garden additions we install in East London right now. Whether it's a pressure treated softwood structure for a climbing plant and some shade, a hardwood Iroko or Ipe pergola that becomes a long-term feature of the garden, or a pergola-and-deck combination that completely transforms the back of the garden — the brief is nearly always the same: more time outside, more of the year.
Pergola Options for East London Gardens
From a traditional timber structure to a motorised aluminium outdoor room — we install the full range.
Pressure Treated Timber Pergola
A classic open-roofed structure built from pressure-treated softwood. The most cost-effective way to create a defined outdoor seating or dining area. Suits smaller East London gardens and works well alongside planting — a natural structure that sits comfortably in a traditional brick terrace setting.
- Pressure-treated softwood for durability
- Works well in narrow or compact gardens
- Suits Victorian and Edwardian terraces
- Can be painted or stained to any colour
Hardwood Pergola
Built from FSC-certified tropical hardwood — Iroko, Ipe, or Oak. A hardwood pergola ages beautifully, develops character over time, and requires minimal maintenance. The premium choice for homeowners who want the pergola to become a permanent architectural feature of the garden.
- Iroko, Ipe, or Oak — FSC-certified
- Natural silver-grey weathering or oiled finish
- 30–50 year lifespan with minimal upkeep
- Stronger and heavier than softwood — built to last
Pergola + Decking Combination
The most popular East London specification: a raised deck at the rear of the garden with a pergola overhead creating a covered outdoor dining and living area. A transformation that makes a neglected end-of-garden feel like an extension of the house.
- Deck and pergola designed as one structure
- Hardwood or composite decking options
- Steps and balustrade included
- Electrical run for lighting and sockets
Pergola + Integrated Lighting
A pergola designed around its lighting from the outset — not an afterthought. LED strip lighting in the beams, overhead festoon or spot lighting, and perimeter lighting that makes the garden feel inviting after dark. The most-requested upgrade we see in East London gardens.
- LED strip lighting built into beams
- Festoon or spot options to suit the look
- Weatherproof electrical fittings throughout
- Smart control and dimming available
Completed Project · Leyton, E10
Pergola & Deck — A Complete Rear Garden Transformation
This Leyton project combined hardwood decking with a timber pergola overhead — built as a single structure so the transition between the two is seamless. The brief was an outdoor dining area the family could use from spring to autumn without worrying about weather.
Integrated festoon lighting in the pergola beams means the space works equally well in the evenings. The whole project — groundworks, deck, pergola, and lighting — was completed in under two weeks by one team.

"The pergola with lighting has transformed how we use the garden in the evenings. We use it far more than we expected — even in autumn. Excellent build."
