Westminster Under School is an independent day preparatory school for boys between seven and thirteen years old. It was founded in 1943 and is part of Westminster School, one of the UK’s leading academic institutions based in the centre of London and providing high ability pupils with a liberal education.
Since 1981, Westminster Under School has been located in Vincent Square with facilities spread between Adrian House and George House and with outdoor sports facilities in the square shared with the senior school.
The former Grosvenor Hospital (Adrian House) is characterful and provides the recognisable heritage face of the Under School overlooking Vincent Square. The building is not listed, but forms an important part of the Vincent Square Conservation Area.
