London Heritage Council
 

Giving a voice to our past.

 
 
 

Who are we?

The London Heritage Council is a not-for-profit cultural heritage organization. We strive to enable Londoners to connect to the history of the Forest City, while promoting the sites and organizations in our local heritage sector. Through a host of programs and events, we empower sites to further develop and promote their businesses. LHC provide opportunities for the public to explore these locations and discover more about our rich cultural history—free of charge. We create safe spaces to connect the community with those who wish to showcase their culture and heritage, skills, and passions through free-to-attend family-friendly city events.

Though we are sometimes mistaken for the organization to contact in relation to heritage buildings or homes across the city, that is beyond our scope of services.

 
 
 

Our mission is simple - to bring Londoners together to celebrate our shared stories.

Londoners have saved lives, explored space, and changed the world. Our museums and heritage organizations share these amazing stories, showing why the past is very much alive in our present.

 

Why does heritage matter?

Culture is a $540,000,000 industry in London. Museums and heritage sites educate, inspire, and give Londoners new reasons to love their community. The London Heritage Council exists to help cultural and heritage organizations to find new, innovative ways of connecting with their community. Check out the information below to explore the impact that culture and heritage have in the London region.
