This is a list of public art in Westminster, a district in the City of Westminster, London. The area's main sculptural showcase is Parliament Square, conceived in the 1860s to improve the setting of the rebuilt Palace of Westminster, to ease traffic flow and as a site for commemorating politicians of note. Carlo Marochetti's statues of the engineers Robert Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel were initially considered for the square, but were rejected as not fitting in with the political theme. (They were ultimately erected outside Euston station and on the Victoria Embankment.) The square took on its present configuration in a refurbishment of 1949–50 by the architect George Grey Wornum, though four statues of twentieth-century figures have since been added.
