About the Lansdowne Gardens Conservation Area
The Lansdowne Gardens Conservation Area covers about 5.9 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Lambeth in 1968. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings, all Grade II. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 38 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
