About Old North, London

Old North is one of London's most prestigious heritage neighbourhoods, stretching north from Oxford Street to Fanshawe Park Road between Richmond Street and Wharncliffe Road. The area is home to grand Victorian and Edwardian homes built between 1880 and 1925 — featuring wraparound porches, bay windows, intricate millwork, deep lots, and large principal rooms. Proximity to Western University, University Hospital, and Victoria Hospital makes Old North one of London's most enduringly desirable addresses for professionals and families who value heritage architecture combined with urban walkability.

Streets like Huron Street, Grosvenor Street, Sydenham Street, and Central Avenue are lined with century homes that retain their original hardwood floors, plaster ceilings, and ornate staircases. London Renovation Experts has completed dozens of projects throughout Old North — from full basement developments and custom kitchen overhauls to bathroom renovations that blend modern function with the historic character these homes deserve.

Old North Kitchen Renovation Considerations

Old North homes present specific renovation considerations. Basement ceiling heights are typically 6 to 7 feet due to older construction methods, and fieldstone or brick rubble foundations are common in homes pre-dating 1910. Underpinning to increase basement height is frequently requested and adds significant value. Electrical systems in these homes often include knob-and-tube wiring and 60-amp panels that must be upgraded as part of any major kitchen or basement renovation. Plumbing is often cast iron or lead and may require replacement during bathroom renovations. Our team is experienced with all heritage renovation considerations specific to Old North.

Kitchen Renovation Permits in London

Kitchen renovations that involve removing load-bearing walls, adding or relocating plumbing, or upgrading electrical service require building permits from the City of London. All basement renovations, kitchen additions, bathroom additions, and electrical or plumbing work in London require a building permit from the City of London Building Division, located at 300 Dufferin Avenue. London Renovation Experts prepares complete permit drawings, submits all applications, and manages every inspection milestone. We never begin permit-required work without approvals in hand.
