Stoke Newington Town Hall, built in the 1930s, is now at risk due to neglect, having remained largely vacant for years despite needing significant repairs and upgrades. Meanwhile, Abney Park Cemetery and St Pancras Old Church have been saved from their previous at-risk status, demonstrating ongoing efforts to preserve London’s historic sites.
Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register is crucial in highlighting the health of historically significant buildings, with 599 sites in London remaining on the list unchanged from last year, indicating persistent challenges in preservation.
The 2024 Heritage at Risk Register reveals that while some sites can be saved, many face neglect and decay. It emphasizes the urgent need for investments to restore historic buildings to their former glory.
Charlton House, added to the register, has a deteriorating roof that is causing significant damage. Built between 1607-12, it highlights the importance of maintaining not just the aesthetic, but the structural integrity of historic sites.
