Adapting Homes and Gardens for a Changing London Climate
London homes were not designed for hotter summers, heavier rainfall, or prolonged damp. London Climate Home is a practical resource for homeowners and renters who want to adapt their homes and gardens to London’s changing climate — with a focus on irrigation, indoor humidity, retrofit materials, and low-carbon upgrades that actually work in real London properties.
The emphasis is on evidence-based, practical solutions: what to do, why it works in London conditions, and where the trade-offs are — particularly for Victorian and Edwardian homes, small gardens, and dense urban settings.
