About the Brixton Road Conservation Area
The Brixton Road Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Lambeth in 1968. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 28 Grade II). The most significant is Christ Church, Grade II*. 4 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 75 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
