The Lampshop is one of the longest established independent decorative lighting shops in the UK. David Herbert inherited the shop from his parents in the late 1970s and has since expanded to offer a range of services while maintaining the personal touch. The "Aladdin's cave" like shop in King's Lynn is filled with a huge selection of traditional and modern lighting, some of which can be seen here.

The Lampshop has their own exclusive range of classic cast brass lighting in antique and polished finishes that are often fitted with exclusive English hand-cut lead crystal shades. Bespoke lampshades are a speciality. These allow customers their choice of fabric to create unique shades in most shapes and sizes.

Their work is good but get a price, in writing, before you leave an item for repair. On two occasions I was quoted one price but charged a higher price when I picked up the items.

I had last minute repair and arrived minutes past closing. Peter took the lamp and had it ready the next morning as promised. Large selection of very nice and expensive shades.

Very dishonest . I bought in a Wildwood lampshade for a wildwood lamp for repair - lamp shade provided back to me was not the same. Cannot believe this type of behavior - really disappointed and will be taking further action against this business .

Small place with big service and very experienced folks who know what they are doing. They just rewired and repaired 2 old valuable lamps that belonged to my Mother in Law. Took no time at all and they turned out great. We also love the shades we found here. You should do all your lamp needs here.

The Lamp Shop is my go to place for anything lamps; new, old, fix, shades, accessorize, etc. They seem to know everything and do all of their own work in house. Easy to get to, ample parking.

First rate for repairs/restorations. I took two vintage lamps to them - one from the 20s, one from the teens. Their work was perfect. It was done the day they said it would be done. And the price was fair. Actually, I would say cheaper, since I paid more elsewhere for similar repairs. The people who own/run the shop are true pros and very friendly. They also have a nice selection of new lamps/fixtures.
