The Norland Conservation Area is designated by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea as being an area particularly worthy of preservation or enhancement. Many of the buildings within the area are officially listed as being of special architectural or historic interest. Others are not listed but are an important part in maintaining the visual and architectural quality of the area as a whole.
Founded in 1969, much of the success of the Norland Conservation Society has become invisible. Gone are the dilapidated homes, fences and street furniture, replaced by a neighbourhood whose architectural and cultural charm has been very much enhanced. The key to the effectiveness of the Society in the community is a solid core of membership. The Society needs members to continue its work and to maintain the integrity of the area.
To join the Society please contact the Membership Secretary
after completing the Membership Form.
