Brick restoration and repointing on a Victorian terrace in Hackney, East London

Tower Hamlets has 58 conservation areas, one of the highest numbers in London. The Brick Lane and Fournier Street conservation area contains the most important early Georgian quarter in England, including the houses around Fournier Street and Christ Church Spitalfields. Nearby, the Bethnal Green Gardens and Old Bethnal Green Road conservation areas protect Victorian terraces built for the area’s historic furniture trade.

Further east, the Tower Hamlets Cemetery conservation area in Bow contains further Victorian terraces, while Bow East and Bow West cover much of the borough’s late-Victorian housing stock. We work to the correct lime mortar specification across Spitalfields, Bethnal Green, Bow, Wapping and the rest of Tower Hamlets.
