London Architectural Salvage and Supply Company

The London Architectural Salvage and Supply Company or LASSCO is a British company formed in 1979.[1] They focus on the recovery and restoration of furniture and building materials in and around London, United Kingdom, and have developed a large collection of recliamed materials over the years.[2] They have had access to salvage furniture at historical buildings such as the British Library[3] and the Victoria and Albert Museum.[4]

It was originally sited in the former church of St Michael Shoreditch. It later acquired yards in Islington and Bermondsey, and has operated out of Brunswick House in Vauxhall since 2004.[1] Barry Phillips considers them to be the "grand old man" of reclamation yards.[1]
