About the Thurloe/Smith's Charity Conservation Area

The Thurloe/Smith's Charity Conservation Area covers about 47 hectares and was designated by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in 1968. Inside the boundary are 116 listed buildings (6 Grade II*, 110 Grade II). The most significant is 1-14, Pelham Crescent Sw7, Grade II*. 5 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 8 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
