Hopkinson House Appointment of Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Team

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.
