Listed buildings and buildings at risk

There are approximately 2,200 listed buildings in Southwark.

A listed building can be a building, object or structure that is of national, historical or architectural interest. All such structures are included on a list drawn up by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

All listed buildings are of special interest and they are classified in grades to show their relative importance. The grades are I, II* and II.  Grade I buildings are of paramount importance to the nation and grade II* are of outstanding interest. 

Most of the listed buildings in Southwark are grade II. We also have a number of grade II* buildings and a few grade I buildings. 

Full listing description are available to download online from the Southwark Interactive Maps page. 

The listed buildings data is plotted to show the primary listed building as detailed in the listing description. This plotting does not show details of curtilage or establish the setting of the listed building, or identify other structures which may be included in the listing. Details of curtilage and setting should be established through pre-application discussions with the Design and conservation team. The areas of listed buildings indicated upon the map is based upon an interpretation of the Ordnance Survey mapping, not upon a site visit. 

For assets such as listed street furniture, funerary structures or statues the listing description should be consulted and the asset examined to confirm identification. Locations of assets not detailed on the underlying Ordnance Survey mapping are approximate and should be established from a site visit.
