Listed buildings in Camberwell

There is a lot of change taking place in and around London these days. A lot of this is welcome, developments and regeneration can often be positive for the local community and economy.
However, there is a need to retain what makes an area special. Even a lot of the people interested in developments and regeneration pick an area because of its traditional charm and style.
