What is the Borough High Street Conservation Area?
The area around and including Borough Market – Park Street, Stoney Street and Bedale Street, Borough High Street and Southwark Cathedral were designated as a Conservation Area in the mid 1970s by the former Greater London Council. The reason for designation is because the streetscape and urban fabric was considered to be of special historic and architectural value. The Conservation Area was extended north towards the river during the 1980s to take in Clink Street; it was also re-designated as an ‘Outstanding’ Conservation Area.
