Campaign team out in Vincent Square

About our area

Vincent Square Ward covers an area of central London that is bordered by the River Thames to the south, the Palace of Westminster and St. James's to the east, Victoria Station to the north and Pimlico to the west. The ward includes Westminster Cathedral, the Victorian mansion blocks of Ashley Gardens and Edwin Lutyen's social housing around Page Street. Vincent Square itself is one of London's largest squares and at 13 acres, is the largest privately-owned square in the city (it provides playing fields for nearby Westminster School) and is also home to the Royal Horticultural Society. The ward is socially very diverse and, amongst many other groups, has a vibrant Bangladeshi community.

We are an active ward, campaigning in Westminster City Council, London Mayoral and General Elections and try to keep local people in touch with the activities of our councillors through regular deliveries of leaflets.

We hold regular social events in and around the area, usually inviting well known political figures as guests. We aim to be a friendly and welcoming group and have members of all ages who take an active role in our activities. If you are interested in coming to one of our events, helping us with campaigning or delivering leaflets or would like further information, we would be very happy to hear from you.

Sign up for our regular emails, full of interesting local news for people living in Vincent Square. You can opt-out at any time and we won't share your email address with anyone else. 

Please complete our local residents' survey, to help us understand what matters to local people in our community.
