The Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster (London Borough Boundaries) Order 1993

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes minor changes within Greater London to the boundary between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster.

The changes are all in the vicinity of Harrow Road.

The boundary is realigned—

(a) to the centre of the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) between the Ladbroke Grove Bridge in the west, and the Great Western Road Bridge in the east; then

(b) to the western side of the Great Western Road; and then

(c) to the southern side of St Ervans Railway Sidings.

The effect of the realignments is to unite the Cheltenham Estate and St Ervans Sidings in Kensington and Chelsea, and to transfer Meanwhile Gardens, part of the Westway, and Westbourne Park Station to that borough.

The map at the end of this Note gives a general guide to the areas affected.

In approximate terms, the total area of land transferred from Kensington and Chelsea to Westminster is less than 1 hectare, with no population, and from Westminster to Kensington and Chelsea, 6 hectares, with a population of 170.

For full details of the transfers made, the order map (described in article 2) should be inspected.

Any person may inspect it at any reasonable time at the offices of the Council of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or of the Westminster City Council, and also at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 (S. I. 1976/246, amended by S. I. 1978/247) contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as this one.
