Parliament Street Public Convenience
Westminster Council has reopened another newly upgraded public convenience in the West End of London. The latest facility to be refurbished is located beneath Parliament Street and linked via pedestrian subway to Westminster Underground Station. The enhanced facilities, essential for the health and wellbeing of our local communities and visitors, feature a redesign with upgraded fittings and a major new public artwork by James Lambert. The transformation is part of a wider programme across Westminster, that reflects the council’s commitment to improved public toilet provision across the city. Through this investment the council is seeking to incorporate the highest standards of contemporary design and showcase new public artwork which takes inspiration from the local area.
The transformed site is located near Parliament Square, and now includes refitted male and female facilities, an onsite attendant, as well as baby changing equipment and upgraded public safety systems. Being able to offer modern, essential facilities ensures a fairer Westminster for residents and visitors, enhancing the value of these important upgrade works.
As a global hub for culture and tourism, the City of Westminster requires a strong infrastructure of services to support its multitude of outdoor spaces and public attractions. The overhaul of this key site supports wider initiatives to enhance public amenities and encourage more people to enjoy the significant and historic locations near the River Thames.
The brand-new facilities are being launched with an exciting new public artwork installation from artist James Lambert, who has been working in collaboration with the delivery and design partners to creatively incorporate artwork into each of the distinct sites. Visitors and commuters will be greeted by the specially made screen-printed tiles as they walk through the now ‘Westminster Blue’ tiled subway, between Exit 5 and 6 of Westminster Station. The digitally hand-drawn illustrations continue throughout the public facilities, inspired by the nearby Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben, with repeated icons of regimented toy soldiers, evoking both national symbolism and a sense of whimsy. Graphic hands recall acts of pointing, voting and protest – from tourists to suffragettes. There are also references to the iconic arches of Westminster Bridge and the celebratory spirit of the historical Brocks Fireworks, the design nods to the Festival of Britain and centuries of civic gathering in Parliament Square.
The Parliament Street site is part of a wider refurbishment programme covering eight public conveniences across Westminster. This is the second refurbished facility to be reopened by the Council this year, after Victoria Embankment public conveniences opened in February 2025. The next site to be delivered is located within the Grade II listed Piccadilly Circus Underground Station, serving commuters and travellers alike.
