We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Barnet, which is in London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and is the biggest urban area in Great Britain. However, London has never actually been confirmed officially as the capital in writing or by statute. It is only the capital through convention. The capital of England was originally Winchester once the Palace of Westminster evolved in the 12 th and 13 th centuries and eventually became the main residence of the royal court and the political capital of England.
The London Borough of Barnet is said to have been in existence from before the Norman Conquest so this dates the borough at around 1066. However, there is no record of it in the Domesday survey.
Around the eleventh century the town of Barnet started to develop primarily because it was passed by a route out of London towards St Albans . However, as most of the borough sat on clay soil it wasn't that attractive to early settlers.
Close by are the London boroughs of: Harrow, Brent, Camden, Haringey and Enfield.

The River Thames is a main feature of London and runs from the south-west to the east. The Thames used to be wider and less deep with marshlands around it but it has been considerably embanked over the years and much now flows underground. London is susceptible to flooding and the Thames Barrier was built to alleviate the problem, but more work is expected over the coming years to prevent floods.
London is a multicultural city with many religions and cultures being represented and over 300 different languages being spoken.
