INFORMED. ENGAGED. CONNECTED The membership body for Central London’s real estate industry
ABOUT US Westminster Property Association (WPA) is the voice of property in Central London. We champion Westminster’s built environment as a major driver of the capital’s prosperity and the UK economy. The City of Westminster is the largest contributing area to UK GDP (£55.7 billion) and the vibrant heart of the capital.
We commission research, share intelligence and represent our members’ interests in a collective voice. We make representations to policymakers at local and national level in order to support the most economically diverse and productive part of the country. Our members receive regular digests of key planning decisions in Westminster and across Central London. We promote best practice and showcase the best of our members’ developments to an unrivalled network of owners, investors, developers and real estate professionals. The WPA network enables our members to navigate development in one of the most complex areas of the country, acting as a link between the public and private sectors, and ensuring your voice is heard.

The events provide excellent networking opportunities to build new business contacts, and to hear directly from business leaders, policymakers and politicians on key issues for the industry. Attendance of our policy seminars can qualify as CPD activity with professional bodies, such as RICS. We also have a dedicated ‘NextGen’ programme to support the next generation of industry leaders.
The WPA directly commissions and supports research to inform political debate on key issues for the industry. Research reports that we have commissioned or supported (published and forthcoming) include: • ‘Crossrail 1: Lessons Learned’ (JLL) • ‘Crossrail 2: Catalyst for Growth in Central London’ (JLL) • ‘London’s Knowledge Clusters’ (Future Places Studio) • ‘London & the UK’ (Centre for London) • ‘London as a HQ City’ (Centre for London) • ‘Manifesto for Growth: Post Brexit’ • Maintaining the Balance: Preserving and Enhancing Westminster’s Role in London’ • ‘Strength in Numbers: Funding and Building More Affordable Housing in London’ (Centre for London) • ‘The Economic Contribution of Central London’s Construction Industry’ (Deloitte)
