Our Region |
| The region is formed by 'inner' and 'outer' London, which were The London County Council, extended to The Greater London Council. Since the abolition of the GLC in 1986, the LDSA has embraced building control across the entire region. |

Our Geography |
| The Thames basin, traditionally known as low lying land and with problems of flooding and drainage has been somewhat tamed by the Thames Barrier, that protects London against the spring time surges from the North Sea. |

Our People |
| The London Boroughs are home to over 7 million people, with those that commute into the area for work, those who travel in for leisure and entertainment all being users of the area and seeking a safe built environment. |
