Old South is a beloved mid-century neighbourhood in south London featuring mature tree-lined streets and a compact, walkable grid of homes built primarily from the 1940s through the 1960s. Located between Wharncliffe Road South and Wellington Road, Old South is anchored by Wortley Road to the north and Commissioners Road to the south. The neighbourhood features arts-and-crafts bungalows, Cape Cods, post-war four-squares, and mid-century ranches in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
Old South is consistently one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods for young families and professionals. The area offers walkability to Wortley Village BIA, Old South Community Centre, and an excellent selection of elementary schools. Home values in Old South have appreciated significantly, driven by strong demand and the inherent charm of the neighbourhood's older housing stock.
Our full kitchen renovation service in Old South covers every element of your new kitchen:
Old South homes span a wide range of construction eras from the 1940s to 1960s, meaning you'll find varying basement heights, structural systems, and utility conditions. Homes from the 1940s and 1950s often have concrete block or poured concrete foundations with lower ceiling heights of 6 to 6.5 feet. Later 1960s homes typically have better ceiling heights of 7 feet. Renovation investment in Old South is strong — kitchen and bathroom updates, basement development, and addition projects are all commonly undertaken by homeowners who plan long-term ownership.
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 renovation work requiring structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or new construction in Old South requires City of London building permits obtained through the Building Division at 300 Dufferin Avenue. We handle all permit documentation and inspections.
If your kitchen renovation involves removing a wall (especially load-bearing), relocating plumbing, or upgrading electrical, a City of London building permit is required. Cosmetic updates — new cabinets, countertops, and appliances in the same location — typically do not require permits. We assess your specific project and handle all required permit applications.
A full kitchen renovation in Old South typically takes 3–5 weeks from demolition to final inspection. Projects involving wall removal, structural changes, or complex custom cabinetry may take 6–8 weeks. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins.
Yes — our team works with you through the full design process including layout, cabinet selection, countertop material, appliance placement, lighting design, and flooring. We provide 3D renderings for most projects so you can visualize your new kitchen before construction begins.
