February 02, 2024

London Stone is thrilled to announce the opening of its ninth showroom, a new landmark in the heart of Altrincham, Greater Manchester. Find out what's in store and take a video tour.

Our Manchester showroom has everything you need to choose the materials for your project.

This latest addition to our nationwide network cements our commitment to providing exceptional products and customer service to the North West, a region known for its rich tapestry of landscaping talent and innovation. Located just 10 minutes from Junction 7 on the M56 and Junction 7 on the M60, our Altrincham showroom spans 220m² of sheer inspiration. Here, professionals and homeowners alike will find an extensive array of products designed to transform any outdoor space. From the timeless beauty of natural stone and porcelain to the practical elegance of clay pavers, composite decking, and cladding, every item is displayed to fire the imagination and fuel creativity. You’ll also find lifestyle displays featuring our budget-friendly pergolas and Corten steel planters.

A showcase of garden paving possibilities

Local designer, Robert Hughes, of Robert Hughes Studio, has been pushing for a London Stone presence in the area for some time. "I’ve been a customer and fan of London Stone for several years now and I’ve been almost campaigning for a showroom in the North West for several years now, so I’m really pleased and delighted that got something like this in our local area." Visiting a showroom brings materials to life and, as Robert says, allows visitors to "get physical with a product, touch it, feel it underfoot," ensuring the selection of exactly the right product for your project. Matthew Beesley of Luxe Exteriors highlights the showroom as a "hot place where we can bring clients and show them all the new materials we use on all of our projects." The comprehensive range under one roof – from steps and clay pavers to pergolas and step units – simplifies the design-to-completion process for both professionals and their clients.

Robert Hughes chose Slab Khaki porcelain paving, with matching steps and coping, for this well-balanced garden near his base in Knutsford, Cheshire, built by Brockstone Landscape Construction.

Seeing our clay pavers in person helps you form a good idea of colours and textures.
