Southwark Council has a legal obligation to periodically consider which parts of the borough have special architectural or historic interest, and should be preserved or enhanced by designating them as conservation areas.
Conservation area status is not just restricted to buildings. Open spaces, cemeteries, a historic street pattern or local centre can have just as much architectural or historic importance.
Southwark has 38 conservation areas. To see whether a particular property is located within a conservation please visit the webmaps page.
