Burlington House

The apartments of the learned societies around the Burlington House courtyard are included in the Government’s Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest at Grade II*, putting them in the most important 8 per cent or so of all the listed buildings in England. Although our apartments are the least altered of all the learned society premises located at Burlington House - with the Hall, Meeting Room and Library remaining largely in their original form - they are subject to an ongoing process of incremental change, not just through major refurbishment projects like that undertaken in 2007/8, but through, for example, the updating of services, such as the recent boiler and central heating renewal programme. Council has therefore decided, in line with good conservation practice, to commission a conservation management plan (CMP) to guide future change.
