Westminster's four historic gas lamps receive Grade-II listed status, protecting them from LED replacement.

Four historic gas lamps in Westminster have been granted Grade-II listed status, preventing their replacement with LED replicas. The campaign to save the 300 traditional gas lamps in the area, which were due to be converted to reduce their environmental impact, saw victories in November 2022 with an agreement to maintain 174 of the lamps. This recent decision was made after a pilot project led by Historic England to examine the management of the gas lamps in Westminster and beyond.
