About the Hurlingham Conservation Area
The Hurlingham Conservation Area covers about 65 hectares within London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s area. Inside the boundary are 6 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 5 Grade II). The most significant is Hurlingham House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
