About

Vincent Square ward lies in the heart of Westminster, centred around its large, private garden square.

The ward includes several institutional buildings, such as the Westminster City School and the Royal College of Nursing headquarters, contributing to a mixed but settled atmosphere.

The square itself is a notable focal point, historically used as a playground for Westminster School and still maintained by them. The surrounding streets are orderly and well-kept, with local businesses catering to residents. The ward's proximity to the political centres of Westminster is balanced by its distinctly residential feel, offering a sense of seclusion within the city.
