This list is a compilation of information from RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects), the LMA (London Metropolitan Archives) and other sources, some digital, with references where possible. RIBA journals can be viewed by appointment with the RIBA Library. Some only list when the completed building was featured in a journal and may not therefore be exactly the date the building was completed. Others are designs which may not have been built. Do you have any connection with any of these buildings or do you know of any others not listed here? If so, do please contact us.
