Available Monday-Friday 9.30am-4.40pm (6.30pm on Wednesdays).

Face-to-face sessions
Citizens Advice Westminster are offering face-to-face Advice Shop Sessions at a centre near you. Sessions are operated on a first come, first served basis.
To access this service one of the following must apply:
- You live in Westminster
- Have been placed outside the borough by Westminster City Council
- Are experiencing homelessness with no connection to any other borough
Please visit the Advice Shop page for details of current sessions.
Virtual Advice Shop sessions
Citizens Advice Westminster are now providing video Drop-In sessions to residents of Westminster, or those who are homeless (with no connection anywhere outside Westminster).
You will then enter an online waiting room. This is a first come, first served service so you may have to wait until a space becomes available, but the Drop-In Administrator will let you know where you are in the queue and approximately what the wait will be.
Please note that you will not receive detailed advice during this session. The outcomes you can expect could include signposting to another organisation more relevant for your issue, or a follow-up appointment with a specialist Adviser.
If time runs out on the session you will be invited to make an appointment.
When: Mondays and Wednesdays
Time: 10am – 11am
