This page covers the southern part of the borough — Bloomsbury, Holborn, Fitzrovia, St Pancras, King's Cross and Somers Town and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Georgian townhouses, listed terraces, mansion flats and former institutional buildings, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Camden Council.
Much of the southern half sits inside the Bloomsbury and Fitzroy Square conservation areas with a high concentration of listed Georgian terraces, so schemes are assessed on heritage impact and many properties are flatted conversions. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the southern Camden streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
