Event details

Thursday, 28 January 2021, 18:30 – 19:30

Join us for a walk around the Bermondsey Street conservation area, tucked behind London Bridge station in SE1.

This was the centre for the leather and other smelly industries that the City didn’t want within its walls. More recently, it has become a focus for small createch businesses and city centre living.

On the other side of the railway viaduct there are concrete and glass towers but, by contrast, in Bermondsey Street, we see lots of Georgian and Victorian buildings along with a few from earlier and later periods. There may be no individual masterpieces, but we have a truly amazing range of commercial and residential buildings concentrated in a tiny area with very much that ‘village’ feel.

About the London Group
The SPAB London group was formed in 2015 and it brings together over 1,000 SPAB members living or working in the metropolitan area. London’s diversity of built heritage gives members the opportunity to share knowledge of historic buildings, conservation projects and craft skills. The SPAB London group offers visits to see conservation works on historic buildings, lectures, concerts and its monthly Walks to Nowhere, guided walking tours discovering London’s many distinctive neighbourhoods and ending at an historic pub. Recent walks traversed Bloomsbury, Smithfield and Borough.
