Histórico
The Committee for the Survey of the Old Memorials of Greater London (known as the London Survey Committee and founded in 1894) was entrusted, following a conference in December 1896, with the task of publishing, with the assistance of the London County Council, a series of volumes describing buildings of historic and architectural interest in London. Volume 1 dealing with Bromley-by-Bow appeared in 1902 but the arrangements for LCC co-operation fell into abeyance and Volume 2 dealing with part of Chelsea was published in 1909 at the Survey Committee's own expense. Later that year, an agreement was arrived at between the Council and the Committee, the details of which will be found in the Council minutes for 21 December 1909, pp. 1511-1512, and 26 October 1910, p. 782. This involved the setting up of a joint publishing committee consisting of three representatives of the London Survey Committee and four representatives of the London County Council.
In 1952 (see Council minutes for 21 October 1952, pp. 475-576), the Survey Committee indicated that, for various reasons, it was unable to continue its participation in the work and the continued publication of volumes became the sole responsibility of the London County Council. The Joint Publishing Committee was accordingly discontinued and its functions transferred to the Town Planning Committee. The London Survey Committee was dissolved as from 1 July 1965.
The Survey of London is currently organised by English Heritage.
