London, UK: Narro Associates, a leading structural and civil engineering consultancy renowned for its expertise in conservation engineering, is proud to announce the opening of its seventh location, this time in the heart of London. This new studio will officially open its doors on 11th August 2025.
Building on the success of its existing offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Stirling, Aberdeen, and Newcastle, the London studio marks a significant milestone in Narro’s continued growth and commitment to delivering specialist structural and civil engineering consultancy services across the UK.
The London team will be led by Managing Director Ben Adam and Associate Director Lily Erskine. Both Ben and Lily are Conservation Accredited Engineers (CARE), having demonstrated their commitment to the preservation of the built environment, and the protection of historic structures. The studio will build on Narro’s four decades of experience by focusing on conservation-led projects, as well as opportunities in the cultural sector, such as museums, galleries, and events spaces.
“Opening a studio in London is a natural next step for Narro,” said Ben Adam, Managing Director. “We’ve built a strong reputation for our conservation and cultural sector expertise, and we’re excited to bring that experience to a city with such a rich architectural heritage. We have one of the largest teams of CARE engineers of any practice in the UK. We also have a fantastic team across the Practice. While Lily and I are heading up the initial London team, we will also have an extensive team of over 80 engineering staff across our other locations. I’m confident that Narro is well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to London’s built environment, and that we have the capabilities and experience for projects of all sizes.”
Lily Erskine added, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of this new chapter for Narro. We’re passionate about working with heritage infrastructure, and London offers an incredible variety of historic buildings and cultural institutions. I’m excited to work on projects that celebrate and protect that heritage.” Lily moved to Narro from Alan Baxter Ltd in 2016, where she worked on the Palace of Westminster, Goldsmith Contemporary Arts Centre and the Royal Academy of Arts.
With a team of 100 professionals across the UK, Narro Associates continues to champion sustainable and sensitive engineering solutions. The London studio will serve as a hub for collaboration with architects, heritage consultants, and cultural institutions, reinforcing Narro’s dedication to thoughtful design and technical excellence.
