Thanks to the likes of Kendall Jenner's home and, well, every photo in our Instagram saved folder, we're kind of obsessed with neon signs. They can be introduced to any room of your home to bring a fun and playful touch, and customised to reflect your favourite phrase or logo.
But, as is sometimes the way with internet shopping, it can be hard to know where to look for neon signs in the UK. Namely because they're an investment piece, but also because you can hear horror stories of bad reviews or long waiting-lists. So where are the best places to buy neon lights and signs?
Best neon signs in the UK
Yellow Pop
Set up in 2018 by co-founders and entrepreneurs Jeremy Cortial and Ruben Grigri, Yellow Pop's LED neon signs are made from high-quality neon flex PVC piping with LED lights inside. They promise to be more durable and affordable than traditional neon (and 80% more energy efficient) and are fully customisable - or you can choose from their core collection.
The brand have also paired up with the likes of cult Instagrammer Diet Prada on collaborations, like a tongue in cheek 'Prada or Nada' sign, and Jonathan Adler for a fun selection of signs. Anyone got a dressing room in need of wall art? Prices on site start from £107.66.

Custom Neon
Handmade from LED neon light tubes that are affordable and eco-friendly, Custom Neon's designs don't get hot and contain no breakable glass, thanks to the flex technology used. What also makes them unique is that they come with 10 brightness settings and can be set to flash with adjustable speeds, which other companies don't seem to offer. You can also choose between rectangle acrylic backing or cut around acrylic backing. Price start from £86 for two letters.
Daze Neon
Located in Manchester, all of Daze's signs are made to order and take between two and four weeks from order placement to delivery. They have in-house designs, but also offer custom neon lights in 10 font choices, 10 colour options and three sizes. You can also choose between four different acrylic backing styles (cut to neon, cut to shape, full board or on a stand) and there are various extras you can add. Prices start from £35 for a neon tube light.
Neon Creations
Neon Creations is a team of six base in Bolton, boasting over 70 years of combined experience. Co-founded in 2005, they differ from other neon companies in that they use glass tubing to create their signs (which is more 'classic' in style) rather than just LED, and are either mounted on an acrylic case, or on an acrylic panel. They offer over 40 colours (!) with a life-span of 10 years. Prices start from around £350 +VAT.
Oliver Bonas
After a cute neon sign but not sure you want to blow the bank? Oliver Bonas have got you covered, and offer a load of transparent acrylic box options with illuminated neon phrases. We love this 'Spritz' box (Aperol, duh), or they offer a 'Gin Bar', 'Applause' or 'Diva'. Can we have one for every room?
Love Inc
Established in 2012, Love Inc offer neon sign hire, custom orders and pre-made designs. Bespoke items take between 6-8 weeks to manufacture, and are made from LED Neon mounted on acrylic. You have a choice of 10 colours, and each sign comes with a clear plastic coated wire, which connects to a transformer and a standard UK plug. A percentage of profits from each product line goes to charity, while the company boast commissions from Jo Malone, Yves St Laurent (presumably not the actual designer as he passed away in 2008) and Sweaty Betty. Prices start from £239.00.
Bag and Bones
Based in West London, Bag and Bones create neon signs mounted to clear, cut-to-shape acrylic using flexible LED neon tubing and light-emitting diodes. Their products promise to be durable, portable, lightweight, safe and eco-friendly. Compared to traditional neon signs, they say LED neon are brighter and easy to install, and will save you roughly 70-90% in energy cost. Custom designs start from £255 and take circa 6-8 weeks to create and deliver. Prices start from £39.99.
