Powis Square Consultation 2021
The Powis Square Steering Group comprised of local residents, ward Councillors and Council officers has been set-up to co-design improvements to the square. As part of this, children and young people have begun sharing their ideas and opinions about redesigning Powis Square Play Space. We want to know:
- What are your favourite things about the Powis Square Play Space?
- What would you want included in the new play space?
- How to increase the accessibility of the space?
This survey will close on 26 August.

History of Powis Square
In the mid-19 century after the W11 area settled down to more conventional building, the planning was entrusted to Thomas Allom.
He leased the land to W.K. Jenkins, whose roots in the Welsh Marches are remembered in the name Powis Square. This was named after Powis Castle - a medieval military stronghold in Wales.
In the 1960’s there was a series of ‘break-ins’ and a march on the Town Hall by mothers and children. This lead Kensington and Chelsea to buy the square in 1968.
