Victoria Tower Gardens

You may be aware of the proposals to locate a new Holocaust Museum within Victoria Tower Gardens which offer iconic views of River Thames and provide much valued and well used outside space for residents living in Vincent Square Ward. The scheme will see a significant reduction in the size of Victoria Tower Gardens in order to accommodate the museum and draw hugely increased numbers of people into a tranquil area” said Conservative Danny Chalkley. 

Although the Gardens are located in neighbouring St James’s Ward, the proposals will affect residents living in the wider area we want to ensure that the views of Vincent Square residents are fully represented when the planning application is considered.  

The plans can be seen online here . We expect a planning application to be submitted shortly (maybe before Christmas). Your Conservative Councillors would really like to hear your views on this issue, please email us!

BBC London: Westminster Council calls on the Mayor to support Soho businesses

Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Cllr Tim Barnes explains that just two Westminster wards, West End and St James's, account for 26% of all "small crime" across the whole of London, which he says is exactly why some regulation of venues is necessary. He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
