Love Local Landmarks

Local listing is a planning tool used to recognise and protect buildings of historical or architectural significance at the local level, particularly those that may not meet the strict criteria for national listing but are still considered important to the community.

The Love Local Landmarks project, launched in 2010, reviewed Hackney’s existing local list of heritage assets. This involved surveying and photographing listed buildings and identifying additional candidates for inclusion.

In December 2012, Hackney formally adopted the revised list, which now includes 458 entries. Around 120 new buildings, many from the 20th century (a period previously under-represented), were added. Meanwhile, approximately 110 buildings were removed, either due to demolition, significant alterations, or because they had since been granted statutory (national) listing.

We are working on restoring this project. For more information, please click here.
