Here, innovation meets tradition, and every piece is a masterpiece, ready to be custom-sized, bespoke-edged, or specially finished.

A Timeless, Classic Look

Showcasing a traditional feel, several products in our Prestige Range will guarantee a stylish, classical look when laid. Established, quintessential British favourites, Britannia Buff Sawn Yorkstone and Broadcroft Portland Limestone, are the hallmark of architectural excellence, adding a prestigious, heritage feel to period properties and elegant gardens, as well as being used extensively for steps, copings, and pier caps. Rich tones and a sawn surface finish adds a contemporary aesthetic without compromising on the traditional appeal of natural stone.

Offering a somewhat more modern finish, the intriguing pale, creamy tones of Palermo White Limestone are a sound choice for light, contemporary spaces. The contrasting Palermo Basalt, offers a bold, volcanic-grey hue, ideal for an industrial, refreshing feel. The material’s sandblasted surface texture offers superior aesthetics, as well as improved slip resistance.

Stunning, Adaptable Limestones

Sawn Limestones represent the very best of contemporary natural stone: beautiful, hard-wearing, and versatile. Our trendy, ever-popular Egyptian Beige Limestone not only represents outstanding value, but exudes a warm, inviting hue that complements both contemporary and classical designs. Our Acid Washed Egyptian Beige Limestone has undergone – as the name suggests – controlled acid washing, which brings the stone’s natural fossils and crystals to the fore. Highlighting the stone’s natural patterns, this material provides a refined tone and texture, perfect for sleek, modern applications. Antique Egyptian Beige Limestone is presented with tumbled edges to give it a softer, more rustic appeal; perfect for traditional designs.

Known for its fine grain and opulent charm, Moleanos Beige Limestones provides sophisticated, consistent pale-cream base tones, furthered by the sandblasted surface texture. This limestone makes for an excellent alternative to Portland Stone, without compromising on quality or finished look. An extremely popular choice for contemporary garden designs, but no less at home in classical, period schemes.

Jura Beige and Jura Grey Limestones bring a subtle, yet undeniable sense of luxury to any garden design. Their sandblasted and brushed surface finish enhances the stone’s natural beauty, providing a tactile experience that feels both lavish and inviting. Ammonites and fossils are prevalent amongst these materials, adding a sense of historical interest, while they are also extremely hard-wearing. Working harmoniously within modern or rustic designs, Jura Limestone is a favourite amongst discerning designers, landscapers, and homeowners alike.

Jura Green Limestone, meanwhile, is renowned for its resilience and character, presenting a spectrum of earthy green-and-grey tones and a unique vibrancy. Perfect for creating distinctive, nature-inspired designs.

European Aesthetics and Modern Charm

An embodiment of understated luxury, our Vicenza range of limestones demonstrate this sedimentary stone’s rich tones and textured finish, making it a go-to choice for patios, pathways, and pool surrounds. The flamed finish brings out its innate character, while our sandblasted version offers a contemporary matte appeal. Superior technical properties including low water absorption and resistance to abrasion (including pollution and salt deposits) making these products a sound choice for outdoor pools and water features.

Vicenza Beige Flamed & Vicenza Beige Sandblasted Limestone: Rich beige tones and gentle natural veining give these stones a luxurious, relaxed feel, with a gentle surface texture.

Vicenza Sand Flamed & Vicenza Sand Sandblasted Limestone: With golden, sandy and olive undertones reminiscent of sunlit Italian landscapes, these stone’s surface finishes add depth and dimension to any project, whether modern or classic.

Vicenza Dusk Flamed Limestone: A moody, sophisticated option ideal for creating striking focal points in urban settings. Colour tones of beige and pink give way to prevalent fossil markings, adding intrigue and rich finish.

Capri Beige Flamed Limestone: Similar to our Vicenza materials, this stone exude timeless elegance, featuring a neutral white-cream palette that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. The flamed texture adds visual intrigue, making it suitable for both interior and exterior spaces.

Dramatic Tones For A Superior Finish

For those who seek a touch of drama and modern flair, Arezzo Grey Flamed Limestone is a captivating choice. Its flamed finish enhances the boldness of its dark grey-brown tones and prevalent fossil markings. Arrezzo Grey Sandblasted Limestone meanwhile, introduces softer, paler greys and light fossils, which is equally at home in modern designs, as it is in more traditional, or formal gardens.

Firenze Sandstone is a unique quartzitic stone which utilises a consolidation process using silicate, leading to a microcrystalline structure within the material, becoming an integral part of its make-up, and enhancing its technical properties. Firenze Flamed Sandstone & Firenze Honed Sandstone combine robustness with beauty, offering strong blue-grey hues and consistent colouring. The flamed and brushed finish reveals a strong, bold look, while the honed surface offers a more polished, refined alternative. These materials are perfect for use around water features, and are a commercially viable choice for patios, courtyards, or even internal floors.

Unmatched Customisation

The Prestige Range sets itself apart not only through its premium selection but also through its commitment to customisation. Understanding that no two projects are the same, London Stone offers these materials in special sizes and thicknesses, along with bespoke edge details and finishes. From curved cuts to intricate detailing, our expert procurement and masonry teams are adept at fulfilling your brief to fulfilment.

Bespoke Finishes & Edging

Customisation doesn’t stop at size. The Prestige Range can be personalised with a variety of surface finishes and edge profile options to suit the specific needs of your project. Here is an overview of some of the options available:

Flamed Finish: A textured, non-slip surface ideal for outdoor applications. Flaming accentuates a stone’s natural veining, and can enhance colouration.

Sandblasted Finish: Smooth yet textured, perfect for creating a contemporary look. Sandblasting can also help to make machine sawn materials less porous, and harder-wearing.

Brushed Finish: Often carried out after sandblasting, this process smooths the stone’s surface further, without making it too slippery.

Honed Finish: A matte, polished surface that radiates elegance. This is the smoothest surface finish that can be achieved without compromising on slip resistance.

Bush Hammered Finish: Achieving a similar look to sandblasting, bush hammering adds a rustic-yet-refined surface texture to the stone’s surface.

Bespoke Edging: ‘Standard’ edge profile options include chamfered, pencil rounded, half-bullnose, or fully bullnosed edges to enhance the overall aesthetic.
