  • Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– for the Last Four Centuries, P

    Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– for the Last Four Centuries, P

    Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– For the last four centuries, Petticoat Lane Market formed a sort of membrane between the ‘City of London’ and the ‘East End’. The granite heart of global capitalism on one side of cast iron bollards, the red-brick muscle of Empire’s labourers on the other. Over the last seventy years, however, the gradual closure of the docks and the outsourcing of industry has seen the city’s muscle wither. The City on the other hand – along with its ‘cognitive labour’ – has metastasised through the old inner-East End. You can smell the coffee roasters and sourdough pizzerias chasing the cement and emulsion-paint-fumes up the road, from Whitechapel to Mile End. Like an amoeba phagocytosing a smaller organism, The City has also enveloped Petticoat Lane, cocooned it with towers of glass and wipe-clean cladding, and is slowly digesting it. Over the course of the last fifteen years, the enzymatic action of re-valorised inner-city living has all but entirely broken down the old market, reconstituting greasy spoon cafes, luggage retailers and kinky underwear wholesalers into cocktail bars, gourmet ‘candy’ retailers and Chicago rib joints. The old market has not, however, been fully digested. At least not at the time of writing. For a start, there are still a handful of wholesalers in its vicinity. Peddling imported luminous batiks, patent leather heels, bongs and phone covers, the wholesalers are dependent on customers making the increasingly expensive trip into London’s congestion charge zone. In between the residues of the rag-trade is also Petticoat Lane’s food court; an assemblage of plastic patio chairs, polystyrene containers, a café, a restaurant and between five to eight food trucks.

  • London Exclusives Pop up Events

    London Exclusives Pop up Events

    QUICK GUIDE TO LONDON FASHION London is a vibrant city teeming with opportunities for creativity. I have my own clothing brand, and so upon arrival to London, getting a hold on what London fashion had to offer was paramount to me. This piece is split into 4 sections. One will focus on the new and exciting brands essential to the character of London fashion. Second, I will turn my attention to pop up events. Third is thrift shops and cheaper options. Lastly, I will discuss what resources are available when it comes to creating your own clothing in London. The British pound is stronger than the US dollar, so some of these places tend to be expensive. I tried to limit this piece to shops that have items for less than $100. However, exploring shops and fashion districts is a great way to feel more local and comfortable in a new area regardless of the price points. London Exclusives There are many stores that are exclusive to London. Take advantage of your time abroad and get some things you can only find here. Even after you leave, you’ll have invaluable items that will always remind you of your time here. Champion, the sweat brand that has collaborated with the likes of BEAMS Japan, Bathing Ape and Urban Outfitters has its own store in London. The only other Champion store you can find is in Amsterdam. Some of the exclusive collaborations can be expensive, but the simpler items like sweatpants and t-shirts sit around $30 or $50. It is located in Soho which is right in central London.

I = Interviewer AW = Alan Weaver I – Good morning to all our ABC Radio listeners and a very warm welcome to Alan Weaver, former top striker and captain of Newcastle United Football Club. Good morning, Alan. AW – Good morning. I – Thanks for coming onto the show today to tell us about your charity work in one of Africa’s poorest countries – Uganda. AW – It’s a pleasure. I – Alan, can you start by telling us why you went to Uganda? AW – Yes. It was part of this year’s Sport Relief fundraising effort. I wanted to show people in the UK why places such as Uganda so desperately need our money. It’s a country where one million children have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS and life expectancy is 49 years old, compared to 79 in the UK. I – Tell us a bit more about what you saw and did in the slums of Kampala, the capital. AW – Well, I should start by saying that what I saw will stay with me forever.

  • A Place with a Rich Cultural Heritage. It Has Had a Consistent History

    A Place with a Rich Cultural Heritage. It Has Had a Consistent History

    FOREWORD Tower Hamlets is a borough immersed in culture; a place with a rich cultural heritage. It has had a consistent history of cultural diversity for over hundreds of years and has been a place where people from all over the world have come to live, work and visit. This diverse population is a unique feature - and one which the community can feel proud of. Tower Hamlets is very much a global borough, with economic and social activity that influences international capital and local communities alike. From Bethnal Green in the North to the Isle of Dogs in the South, Poplar in the East and to the Tower of London in the West, the borough spans a diverse community that makes Tower Hamlets what it is today. The borough has an extremely rich and diverse range of cultural attractions - from household names like the Tower of London and Petticoat Lane Market, to the numerous artists and craftspeople working largely unseen across the borough. It is one borough, made up of a wide mix of different people from all over the world, and the cultural strategy outlined on the following pages will demonstrate the full range of cultural provision that seeks to enhance the quality of their lives. Through cultural activity and opportunity, the Council and its partners, are seeking to fulfil the commitment to community cohesion by offering everyone activities and leisure opportunities through which they can achieve greater fulfilment and personal development. Culture in Tower Hamlets can be defined in many ways, but the abiding principle of culture in this community is its people.

    The Emory Student Guide to Queen Mary University Meet the Author

    The Emory Student Guide to Queen Mary University Meet the Author Emily Gaines (‘16C ) My name is Emily Gaines and I am a history major and a sociology minor. I studied abroad at Queen Mary University, University of London (QMUL) in the fall of 2014. I’ve compiled this guide with some general information about the university and its application process, as well as what to expect once you arrive in London. I hope you find it helpful! Queen Mary at a Glance Address: Mile End Road London E1 4NS Nearest Underground Stations: Mile End (Hammersmith & City, District and Central lines) Stepney Green (District and Hammersmith & City lines) Total Enrollment: 20,260 Undergraduates: 13,240 Study Abroad Students: ~ 300 per semester Number of Countries Represented: 151 Why Choose Queen Mary? Queen Mary, University of London is located in the East end of London and offers programs in business, social sciences, natural sciences, arts, engineering and mathematical sciences. As an Emory student, you’re prepared for the academic rigor of Queen Mary’s courses. QMUL is the largest self-contained campus in inner London and has a highly diverse study body. The majority of first year and study abroad students live on campus, making it easy to settle in and meet new people. Classes are only a short walk from your flat too! Financing Your Study Abroad Experience During your time abroad, you will remain enrolled as a full-time Emory student and as such, you will continue to pay Emory tuition. The difference between cost of attendance at Emory and in London is the living costs.
