Project forms part of a programme to refurbish public conveniences across central London

Hugh Broughton Architects has completed the refurbishment of public toilets beneath Parliament Street in Westminster, part of a council-led programme to upgrade eight facilities across central London.

Linked via a pedestrian subway to Westminster Underground Station, the high-traffic site features a new public artwork by James Lambert. His design, applied to ‘Westminster Blue’ tiles, incorporates motifs such as Big Ben, toy soldiers, pointing hands, and the arches of Westminster Bridge, intended to reference the area’s civic and cultural history.

The upgrade follows a similar scheme at Victoria Embankment completed in February 2025.
