Site: Roger Philip Goad (1 memorial)

W8, Kensington Church Street, 225 - 227

2024: This entire block is wrapped and scaffolded so don't expect to see these low rise buildings again. We've marked the plaque as lost. Please let us know if it returns.

August 2025: When we published, Neil Barker asked the Police Memorial Trust about this missing plaque. Their response is that it has been removed for safekeeping and that it will be returned once the building work is completed. We're pleased to hear that and look forward to hearing that it has been returned.
