History
The London Heritage Council became an independent organization on August 24, 2007. Over our 17-year history, we have had the privilege of calling several unique locations home. We began at Eldon House, then moved to the central branch of the London Public Library, and later to Innovation Works, where we remained until August 2024. We are pleased to announce that our new office is now located at 1017 Western Road, in the Grosvenor Lodge compound.
