Voices from the Piazza
By London Heritage Quarter
London Heritage Quarter is excited to collaborate with Heard Storytelling to create an immersive, open-air storytelling exhibition celebrating 50 years of Westminster Cathedral Piazza by highlighting the hidden voices, untold stories and personal memories that shape its identity.
Installed in the Piazza for three months from January 2026, this placemaking exhibition uses audio, portraiture and visual design inspired by the Cathedral itself to invite the public into a moment of reflection, celebration, and imagination for the space's future.
