The redundant buildings that interests us around Walthamstow
Redundant buildings in Walthamstow often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. Sitting about 7 miles north-east of central London, Walthamstow is within Greater London, with Chingford and Ilford close by.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
