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.

Celebrating 30 years of rescuing London’s heritage

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.

This Month’s Snapshot

To celebrate 30 years of saving London’s heritage, we were delighted to be joined by friends and colleagues at the Art Workers Guild this May. 

Our Chair, Georgina and Director, Rosie wrote a little about the event in our most recent newsletter, alongside an update on our new projects at Lavender Hill Cemetery Chapel (Enfield), Paddington Old Cemetery Chapels (Brent) and our Phase II of the Petticoat Lane Heritage Trail.

‘HOW TO’ – free training materials for Community Groups

HOW TO is part of LHBT’s ongoing training programme, specifically designed to empower and equip communities and organisations with the knowledge to take on heritage projects.

These short and snappy virtual sessions are free to attend and open to all.

Each session breaks projects down into simple key elements, with case studies, Q&As top tips and links to further resources and support. Learn how to take on a heritage project from experts in the field.

These sessions were recorded, and each can now be accessed online along with a pdf of every presentation.
