"There is no doubt that Peregrine’s Pianos has made an enormous impact on the London piano scene since its inception over a decade ago. The opening of the Little Peregrine premises is testament to the organisation's vision for making pianos accessible to all."
Award-winning Piano Dealer
We are open six days a week - do come and see us!
We offer quality instruments for the professional pianist, spacious rehearsal rooms for the working musician and practical sale and hire options for the musical family.
Peregrine's Pianos is the exclusive London dealer for August Förster and Schimmel, two of the finest German piano manufacturers. Selected preowned pianos are also available in our adjacent showroom called “Little Peregrine.”
We have vast experience in providing music rehearsal facilities and our rooms are the first choice for orchestras, opera companies, teachers and large numbers of independent musicians.
For those promoting concerts or special events we have both grand and upright pianos that we can send out to any venue. Also, we keep a wide selection of pianos for long term domestic hire.

Please put the Lid up!
When we play the piano, sound waves are produced by the vibrations from the sound board. Leaving the lid down will generally keep all these beautiful sounds within the box – but since the low frequencies have a longer wavelength, they are better able to penetrate the casework than the higher frequencies. An absolute no, no is to put the lid down and play loudly! (23rd April 2025)
