127sho_HANDLE WITH CARE: BRICK LANE CONSERVATION AREA

Brick Lane Conservation Area is made up of narrow frontage, 19th century shopfronts in buildings of 2, 3 and 4 storeys. The low-rise character emphasises the landmark value of Christ Church Spitalfields, whose spire towers over the area at a height of 225ft, and of the chimney of Truman’s Brewery. Both of these features act as focal points for views and important points of reference, making it easier for visitors to find their way around. The Local Development Framework identifies 10 development sites in or around the Conservation Area which includes the former Shoreditch Station.
