Listed building data

Scheduled monuments, parks and gardens, wrecks and world heritage sites

Conservation Areas

The Heritage at Risk Register

Updated annually, the Heritage at Risk Register provides an understanding of the overall state of England’s heritage assets. The data gives a dynamic picture of the sites most at risk and most in need of safeguarding for the future. 

For listed buildings, we assess Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II places of worship and listed buildings in London only.

Greater London Archaeological Priority Areas

Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs) are areas where there is significant known archaeological interest or potential for new discoveries. APAs are used to help highlight where development might affect heritage assets.

Aerial Investigation Mapping data
