  • 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.

  • Lambeth Bridge and the Location of the Southbound Bus Stop on Lambeth Palace Road Has Been Moved Back to Its Existing Location
    Appendix B: Likely journey time impacts following changes to the design post consultation Summary of changes from 2017 consultation Following consultation feedback in 2017 several turning movements have now been retained eastbound onto Lambeth Bridge and the location of the southbound bus stop on Lambeth Palace Road has been moved back to its existing location. The following turning movements are now allowed at all times of day for all vehicles: Millbank North to Lambeth Bridge and Millbank South to Lambeth Bridge. The shared pedestrian and cycle areas have been reviewed and removed where it is safe for cyclists to use the carriageway. Shared use remains between Millbank South and Horseferry Road. There is also a carriageway level cycle lane through the footway between Millbank North and Lambeth Bridge. These alterations to the design in response to consultation feedback have resulted in some changes to the modelled journey times. Please note journey times are not directly comparable to the 2017 consultation. This is due to the modelled area being extended to ensure all journey times changes are captured by the modelling assessment. The tables below compare future modelled journey times with and without the Lambeth Bridge scheme. Both models include demand changes associated with committed developments and population growth, and planned changes to the road network. This allows us to isolate other changes on the network and present the predicted impact of the Lambeth Bridge scheme. 39 Revised Journey Times: Buses Future Journey Time without

  • “London Day.” Dear Brothers and Sisters
    London Day. That’s what it was called, “London Day.” Dear Brothers and Sisters: It was London Day, in all that one might imagine. We woke early to get a quick breakfast, and then got in a queue (a line). This is nothing unusual about getting in a queue. In fact, I think there are queues to prepare to get into another queue. It seems to be a way of life. This queue was to get on the coaches that would be taking us on the two hour trip to London. The ride in was uneventful, filled with sleeping bishops and spouses, and those talking about various aspects of life. When we arrived in London, it was just as one might imagine it: the Parliament Buildings, Westminster Abbey, ‘Big Ben’ and all the rest. We actually arrived early, and so I thought we might have a few minutes to wander around. Wrong! It was off the bus…and into another queue. We walked to Whitehall Place and waited. As more and more bishops gathered -- Nigerians, Sudanese, American, and all the rest -- we noticed that security was quite visibly present. Soon a helicopter was hovering overhead, just to make sure that nothing happened. Around 10:00 people came around to pass out placards and special “Social Justice Bibles.” Many of us took one or both and prepared to carry them along the route. We began our Walk of Witness. The march took us past Downing Street, ‘Big Ben,’ the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. We ended the walk at Lambeth Palace – the London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
