About the Stradella Road Conservation Area
The Stradella Road Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Southwark in 2000. Inside the boundary are 2 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 1 Grade II). The most significant is Half Moon Public House, Grade II*. 8 Article 4 directions over the area remove 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.
