London is a breathtaking city where modernity meets history. We are proud to serve in such an architecturally rich environment that reflects our city's heritage.
However, we recognise that the unique construction and layout of these buildings present specific challenges when it comes to fire safety, as fires in these buildings can spread more quickly.
Get advice on writing a heritage Fire Risk Assessment, Emergency Response Plan, a Salvage Plan, or contact our expert Heritage team.
Within our Fire Safety Team, we have heritage protection experts who work with museums, art galleries and buildings of historic importance.
The Heritage Team work across London to offer support and advice so that organisations can develop a suitable salvage plan.
We also engage with relevant heritage stakeholders, including Historic England, to identify risk and to provide fire prevention advice, support and guidance in relation to salvage plans.
If you live or work in buildings that have a historic significance or need some form of salvage arrangements, you can find further information via the fire safety heritage link above.
We are also proud to care for an exceptional collection of historical artefacts that tell the story of firefighting and firefighters from the past. From The Great Fire of London to objects used to fight fires, the early Brigades to fires that changed history, there's much to explore on our Museum pages.
