Talk:List of demolished buildings and structures in London

James Rennie?

The James Rennie linked in this article is an entomologist. Maybe someone needs to start an article called James Rennie (engineer)? JonRichfield (talk) 15:08, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Error, should be John Rennie! Paravane (talk) 16:34, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Criteria for new additions

There are currently less than a hundred buildings in this list out of many thousands which have been demolished in London. There is scope for expansion, but there is also a need to avoid the page becoming too large. Notionally, the buildings which should be included should be the most notable out of all that have existed in the past.

I have removed Lyndhurst Hall because I think it is out of place amongst the other entries. It does not seem to be an especially notable building, and also it is not in central London - Hampstead was a separate place until relatively recently.

One approach to accommodating more buildings like Lyndhurst Hall might be to set up additional lists - perhaps for individual boroughs, which would allow for the inclusion of buildings of particular local interest. Paravane (talk) 18:23, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification Paravane – must confess I wasn't entirely sure. It's notable in social terms, but location and architecture seem to count against when compared to the others. Separate borough pages sound a good idea – or demolished buildings could be themed in some other logical way (eg, by era or purpose). Libby norman (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Notable omissions

The Baltic Exchange (building) seems historically and architecturally significant: should it be included? anonymous comment by 81.145.202.106 15 June 2017‎

Agreed - destruction by bombs shouldn't be limited to WW2. I was surprised to note its absence from this list. Grunners (talk) 15:33, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Streets?

Entire streets seem to be included, whereas that doesn't seem to be the intention in the title, should a new page be made for these perhaps? Quidquodquo (talk) 15:45, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
