Traditional Glass Neon London
Traditional glass neon signs are made using hand-bent glass tubes filled with neon or other noble gases. When electricity is applied, the gas inside the tubes emits a bright, colourful glow — creating a warm, distinctive light that LED alternatives can replicate in style but not in character. For businesses that want the authentic look and feel of real neon, traditional glass neon remains the definitive choice.
At Signstar, we work with skilled craftsmen to produce traditional glass neon signs for businesses and venues across London and the UK. From bespoke lettering and logos to artistic shapes and decorative installations, every sign is handcrafted to your exact design — in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Traditional glass neon signs offer a character that LED neon simply cannot replicate — that warm, slightly imperfect glow that comes from real gas-filled tubes. They are particularly effective in hospitality, retail, and creative environments where atmosphere matters as much as visibility.
What We Offer
Traditional glass neon signs are often chosen for their warm, timeless appearance and the unmistakable quality that comes from genuine handcraft. They are particularly effective in hospitality environments — bars, restaurants, hotels — as well as retail spaces, creative studios, and any environment where the sign is part of the atmosphere rather than just a piece of identification.
At Signstar, we can produce traditional neon signs in a full range of colours, shapes, and designs — from simple single-colour lettering to multi-colour artistic pieces. Our craftsmen work to your exact brief, and we can advise on colour, scale, and mounting to ensure the finished sign works perfectly in your space.
For outdoor installations, we provide guidance on weatherproofing to ensure the longevity of your sign. We also advise on maintenance — traditional neon requires some care to protect the glass tubes, but with the right approach a well-made neon sign will last for many years.

Signstar installed a very impressive text sign for Builder Depot New Southgate on the buildings shell, 20m high. The initial stages of the design were thoroughly discussed and we were supplied high quality digital mock ups. Installation was completed without a hitch, very quickly and just in time for Christmas. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Great communication, great attitude and a really fantastic sign which perfectly fit the brief.
I have used Mitch and his team for all my business requirements, from my shop signage, business cards to my company shirts. Their customer service is second to none, they take the time to go through my exact requirements and answer any questions I’ve had. I am also using them to wrap my company vehicle too. I would recommend them 100%.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. We ordered practically last thing on a Friday for a show on Sunday and the staff went above and beyond to ensure the print was ready in time. The poster looks fantastic, highly recommended for a very professional, fast and friendly service.
