  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.

    PRINCES HOUSE LONDON ...when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford. SAMUEL JOHNSON A CITY LIKE NO OTHER Culturally vibrant, colourfully cosmopolitan, fashionably eclectic and heritage-rich, London marches to the beat of its own drum and is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Its infinite charm has drawn people from all over the world, enchanted by its skyline of shiny domes, glittering spires and modern glass facades. As a design and fashion capital, London bursts with creativity. This also makes it a shopping paradise for home-grown British designers as well as famous high street brands. Shop to your heart’s desire, be it at upscale Harrods or at the weekend stalls in Camden Market. Stroll through Kew Gardens, enjoy the view from the London Eye, catch a performance at Shaftesbury Avenue and dance the night away in Soho. London has something for everyone. HIVE OF ACTIVITY The Mayor of London’s 2020 Vision lays down an impressive set of ambitions to the benefit of all who live in and visit the city. In 2018, when the Crossrail opens and tube upgrades are complete, not only will rail and road connectivity improve, so too will a network of quietways, further cultivating the city’s cycling culture. A VIVID FUTURE At the heart of central London, is Princes House. It is a prime property in the coveted neighbourhood of Westminster. Located on Kingsway, the building is a blend of old and new, a tribute to the past and a nod to the future.
