Abstract: We show that the symmetry algebra of the $SL(2,R{)}_k/U(1)$ coset model is a non-linear deformation of $W_{infty}$, characterized by $k$. This is a universal $W$-algebra which linearizes in the large $k$ limit and truncates to $W_N$ for $k=-N$. Using the theory of non-compact parafermions we construct a free field realization of the non-linear $W_{infty}$ in terms of two bosons with background charge. The $W$-characters of all unitary $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ representations are computed. Applications to the physics of 2-d black hole backgrounds are also discussed and connections with the KP approach to $c=1$ string theory are outlined.
