Building safety in Westminster

The City of Westminster mixes mansion blocks and mixed-use towers across Paddington, Victoria and the West End, with a dense and varied stock of higher-risk buildings.

The local authority in Westminster is Westminster City Council. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not Westminster City Council.

The remediation picture

As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works. Westminster sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
