Overview
Piano Studios is a residential conversion in Chalk Farm (NW1), created from the former Chappell & Co piano factory on Ferdinand Street — a Victorian industrial building once central to London's 19th-century piano manufacturing trade. The development comprises 19 loft-style one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses across five floors.
The conversion retains original architectural character throughout: exposed brickwork, timber beams, high ceilings, steel-framed windows, and traces of the factory's industrial past are preserved alongside contemporary finishes including marble surfaces and underfloor heating. Most units include a balcony or private roof terrace. Chalk Farm Underground station (Northern line) is a short walk away, with Camden Town and Primrose Hill both within easy reach on foot.
