Victoria Square Gardens

Following a planning refusal by Westminster City Council and a Public Enquiry by the Planning Inspectorate, the Housing Minister Christopher Pincher has granted planning approval for Adjaye Associates and Ron Arad’s Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in Victoria Tower Gardens.
