What's New?

The emergence of an organised fire service in the 19th-century has resulted in a proud legacy of civic structures across London, often combining architectural elegance with functional efficiency. Instantly recognisable and highly cherished by the communities they serve, their historical and architectural interest has been recognised by many of them being designated as listed buildings. Although a number are no longer in original use, a good proportion still serve.
