The Ladbroke Conservation Area

The original Ladbroke Conservation Area was designated by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in 1969, and in 1976 the Borough published a Conservation Area Proposals Statement for the Ladbroke Conservation Area as required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. The then boundaries of the area were Holland Park Avenue to the south; Clarendon Road to the west; Blenheim Crescent and Elgin and Portobello Road to the east.

This original area included the core of the Ladbroke Estate, the superb houses and streets designed by Thomas Allom (1804-1872) and others (see history); the unusual communal garden originally proposed by Thomas Allason (1790-1852); and the two churches of St John’s on Ladbroke Grove and St Peter’s on Kensington Park Road.
In 2002, the Council extended the Conservation Area to include additional parts of Portobello Road and Westbourne Park to the North, bringing a wider range of buildings, including many more shops, within the purview of the Association. (See map below)
In summary: Holland Park Avenue to the south, Clarendon Road to the west, Blenheim Crescent and Elgin Crescent to the north and Portobello Road and Pembridge Road to the east.

The original Conservation Area Proposals Statement for the Ladbroke Conservation Area, made under Section 277 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971, was published in 1976. The Ladbroke Conservation Area was the first to be designated by the Council of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in 1969.

A schedule of all the buildings in the Ladbroke Conservation Area Buildings by Street has been taken from the information provided by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. It shows which buildings are in the Ladbroke conservation area, which have extra planning protection (Article 4 Directions) and which are Listed Buildings.
