Transforming places for local people.
London Historic Buildings Trust is London’s only city-wide building preservation trust.
Since 1992, we’ve been specialising in heritage-led regeneration to save at-risk historic buildings to benefit communities across London.
30 years, £7 million of coordinated funding, 7 buildings removed from the Heritage at Risk Register and impactful re-use for local communities.
From affordable housing to innovative workspaces, to healthcare sites and community spaces, we’ve created new places across the city which unify today’s communities with special buildings of the past.
Though we’re a small organisation, we’re continually developing new projects and activities, enabling us to amplify our impact and engage more communities in cherisihing their local heritage.
We are very pleased to announce that we have appointed Mark Hosea as our new Chief Executive. Mark has joined the Trust from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, where he was Director of Estates and Conservation. This appointment follows the departure of LHBT Projects Director Rosie Shaw, who has left to pursue new opportunities following her significant contribution to the work of the Trust
