We Mounted 50 TVs in Camden, Islington and Barnet This Year — Here’s What Homeowners Picked

We Mounted 50 TVs in Camden, Islington and Barnet This Year — Here’s What Homeowners Picked

We were just looking back at the last year of TV installations across Camden, Islington and Barnet, and we wanted to share what we found. Partly because it’s a useful snapshot for anyone in the area planning their own TV bracket  install, and also because one result stood out clearly: the One For All Full Swivel mount was the single most installed bracket, by a wide margin.

Here’s the breakdown.

The Numbers

Over the past 12 months, our team completed 54 TV mounting jobs across Camden, Islington and Barnet. Here’s how the mount choices broke down:

The One For All Full Swivel mount wasn’t just the most popular option; it was requested more than the next two most common choices combined. That lines up with what our installers see on the ground every week. Customers arrive having already chosen this mount, often because a neighbour, friend or family member recommended it.

Where the Jobs Were

Broken down by area, here’s roughly how the work was spread:

• Islington: 11 jobs — mostly Victorian and Georgian terraces, with a lot of chimney breast installs
• Camden: 24 jobs — a mix of period conversions and newer flats, several open-plan living spaces
• Enfield: 19 jobs — more semi-detached and detached houses, generally more stud wall installs than solid brick

Every one of these areas has its own housing quirks, but the swivel mount’s popularity held steady across all three, which suggests it’s less about one specific wall type and more about how people actually want to use their living rooms. Flexibly, and not locked into a single fixed viewing angle.

Why the Full Swivel Mount Keeps Winning

A few patterns came up again and again in the jobs we did this year:

• Chimney breast installs. Extremely common in Islington and Camden’s period properties, where the TV often needs to sit at an angle rather than dead-centre on the wall.
• Kitchen-diner and open-plan layouts. A swivel mount lets one TV serve two seating areas, which came up repeatedly in converted flats.
• Recommendation-driven purchases. A noticeable number of customers told us a neighbour or friend on the same street had the same mount installed.

That last point is worth calling out. In a city where word-of-mouth still travels fast on a residential street, it’s not surprising that once a few households on a road choose the same bracket, more follow.

What This Means If You’re Planning an Install

If you’re in Camden, Islington or Barnet and weighing up TV mounts, the honest takeaway from a year of data is this: the One For All Full Swivel mount, or something similar, is very likely to be the right call for period housing stock and open-plan layouts alike, simply because it doesn’t force you to compromise on where the TV goes.

The part that doesn’t show up in the stats table is installation quality. Whether it’s a 45%-share mount or a rarer choice, a full swivel bracket depends on solid fixings. Especially in older properties where lath and plaster, brick, and patched walls are the norm rather than the exception.
