Where we draw in North Southwark

Which Southwark neighbourhoods does this cover?

This page covers the northern part of the borough — Bankside, Borough, Bermondsey and Rotherhithe fringe and the streets around them. The stock here is largely warehouse and loft conversions, Georgian terraces and riverside new-build, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Southwark Council.

The Borough and Bermondsey conservation areas and several tall-building zones apply in the north, so warehouse conversions and heritage terraces sit alongside high-density riverside schemes. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the northern Southwark streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
