Rowena Wilson is from the Ashley Gardens Residents’ Association in Westminster, and thoroughly enjoys central London living.

Rowena originally qualified as a town planner after completing an M.A. in Town and Regional Planning at Sheffield University, and she remains a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (MRTPI). In the late 1980’s she decided to re-qualify as a solicitor and attended the College of Law before being admitted in 1993.

As a solicitor, Rowena has worked in both private practice and local government specialising in planning, transport infrastructure, housing and regeneration. She is a member of the Law Society’s Planning Panel and has lectured on planning law at Warwick University and South Bank University. Her role in the Ashley Gardens RA has renewed her interest in the housing aspect of her practice.

Originally from Stratford-upon-Avon, Rowena has always been interested in the theatre and has taken this interest further by training as a make-up artist. She volunteers for the British Red Cross and is a keen, albeit novice, skier and in-line skater
