English Heritage

Everywhere we look, history surrounds us. English Heritage champions London's unique and rich legacy of historic places and advises the government and others to help today’s generations get the best out of our heritage whilst striving to ensure that it is protected for the future.

High Street 2012 is transforming one of London’s oldest highways. The route, which passes through many conservation areas, is lined by historic buildings; many of them listed. English Heritage is committed to playing a central part in ensuring the historic environment secures lasting sustainable benefits for communities in the years that follow the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and has committed £1 million towards much needed restoration works to key groups of buildings along the High Street 2012 route.
