Areas we cover in London
We have pages for twelve boroughs and towns, from Romford and Bromley in the outer ring to Hackney and Wandsworth closer in. Each page explains the housing there and the faults it tends to produce: 1930s semis in Harrow and Sutton, Edwardian houses in Ealing, converted Victorian flats in Wandsworth and Hackney, and 1950s and 60s homes across Havering.
