Heating & Plumbing London picnic blanket in coastal dunes

A playful name. Surprisingly thoughtful gifts.

Heating & Plumbing London creates blankets, picnic rugs and umbrellas designed for warmth, comfort and quiet joy — whatever the weather.

Heating & Plumbing London brand story

A name you won’t forget.

Our name is rather unexpected. It’s part of the British charm.

The idea of the brand came about on a chilly day in November 2016, whilst strolling along the Thames.

The weather turned colder than expected. We started longing for a cosy fireplace, warm blankets and snug socks.

And just as the rain set in, a heating & plumbing van pulled up beside us. The name stuck — and the rest followed naturally.

Designed for gifting. Made for everyday life.

Thoughtful objects designed for comfort, practicality and quiet moments indoors and out.

British picnic blankets

Picnic Blankets

Waterproof picnic blankets designed for long lunches, summer evenings and weekends outdoors.

British throws

Throws

Wool and cotton throws designed for cosy homes, quiet mornings and thoughtful gifting.

British umbrellas

British Umbrellas

Traditional British umbrellas handmade in London using techniques designed to stand the test of time.

Made slowly. Kept for years.

Like good tea and unpredictable weather, most of our pieces are made in the British Isles.

We work with small workshops using traditional techniques and thoughtfully chosen materials.

Designed for everyday use and made to last, our collection is practical, quietly considered — the kind of gifts that show you went a little beyond the ordinary.

The Founders

We are Brij & Franck. We are Heating & Plumbing London.

We first met in Manhattan in 2001 and, after many adventures and career changes, eventually created the brand together in London.

Brij was born in India and grew up in England. Franck is from Brittany in France. Between us sits a shared appreciation for beautifully made objects, everyday comfort and things designed to last.

Heating & Plumbing London grew from that obsession.

Thoughtful gifting.
