About the Brockwell Park Conservation Area
The Brockwell Park Conservation Area covers about 63 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Lambeth in 1983. Inside the boundary are 7 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 6 Grade II). The most significant is Brockwell Hall, Grade II*. 4 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 2 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
