Where we build in London

We work in all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. Here is what London’s housing stock looks like, from official sources.

An old and dense city

GLA analysis of the English Housing Survey found that 27.6% of London homes were built before 1919 and a further 22.3% between 1919 and 1944. More than one in ten have been built since 2002, mostly flats, many in high-rise buildings. ^[1]

Heritage everywhere

The London Plan lists four World Heritage Sites, over 1,000 conservation areas, 19,000 list entries for historic buildings and 150 registered parks and gardens in London. Many of our refurbishment projects need heritage input. ^[2]

Who owns London’s homes

In 2021 London had the lowest home ownership of any English region (46.8%). 30.0% of households rented privately and 23.1% rented social housing, so many of our clients are landlords and housing providers. ^[3]

Where we work

Construction across all London boroughs

We take on construction projects throughout Greater London.

Projects can range from new homes on infill plots to refurbishments of period terraces, lower-ground conversions and light commercial or industrial units.

Every borough has its own planning and building control teams, so we factor local requirements into the programme from the start.

We meet on site to scope projects across every London borough.
