Hopkinson House was acquired by Westminster
City Council (WCC) in July 2024 for use as Temporary Accommodation.
The acquisition was made as part of WCC’s Temporary
Accommodation Acquisitions Programme and will be used to meet the
increasing demand for emergency housing in
Westminster.
The site is located at 88 Vauxhall Bridge
Road, in the Vincent Square ward and Vincent Square Conservation
Area. The site accommodates a vacant 4-storey Victorian building
constructed in the 1900s, which was most recently used as a hostel
for vulnerable adults.
Following its successful acquisition, WCC is now seeking to procure a Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Team (MDCT) to redevelop the site, which aims to deliver on a number of Fairer Westminster objectives, as set out in Section 3 of the report.
