Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what action they have taken to preserve remaining historic gas lamps in London.
This question was answered on 2nd April 2025
In October 2024, 40 free-standing gas lamps in Westminster were listed at Grade II to recognise their special interest and to ensure their future protection. Amendments were also made in February 2025 to a further 14 List entries for gas lamps already on the List to recognise the importance of the lamps and to aid their management by Westminster City Council.
