London Climate Home is a guide to making homes and gardens in London more comfortable, resilient, and sustainable — without compromising on character or beauty.
As London faces hotter summers, wetter winters, and increasingly unpredictable weather, many of us are asking new questions about how we live:
- How do I keep my flat cool without ruining the look of my Victorian windows?
- Is rainwater harvesting actually worthwhile here?
- Can I make small upgrades that protect my home, save water, or reduce energy use?
This site exists to explore those questions — and offer honest, practical answers that work for Londoners, renters and homeowners alike. From passive cooling to smart irrigation, the focus is on changes that are:
- Climate-aware — responsive to the future we’re heading toward
- Design-sensitive — respectful of architecture, light, and materials
- Low-disruption — feasible to implement at home, on real budgets
Who’s Behind This?
This project is run by a London-based homeowner with a background in logistics, infrastructure, and systems thinking — and a growing obsession with airflow, insulation, and what keeps buildings liveable as the climate changes.
I’m not a builder, an engineer, or a climate consultant — but I am a meticulous researcher and practical experimenter. This site aims to share what I learn along the way in clear, useful terms.
Articles are written and edited with the help of AI tools (primarily ChatGPT), but always with a human in the loop to check for relevance, accuracy, and tone.
