  • Architectural Tour of Exhibition Road and 'Albertopolis'
    ARCHITECTURAL TOUR OF EXHIBITION ROAD AND ‘ALBERTOPOLIS’ The area around Exhibition Road and the Albert Hall in Kensington is dominated by some of London’s most striking 19th- and 20th-century public buildings. This short walking tour is intended as an introduction to them. Originally this was an area of fields and market gardens flanking Hyde Park. In 1851, however, the Great Exhibition took place in the Crystal Palace on the edge of the park. It was a phenomenal success and in the late 1850s Exhibition Road was created in commemoration of the event. Other international exhibitions took place in 1862 and 1886 and although almost all the exhibition buildings have now vanished, the institutions that replaced them remain. Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, had a vision of an area devoted to the arts and sciences. ‘Albertopolis’, as it was dubbed, is evident today in the unique collection of colleges and museums in South Kensington. Begin at Exhibition Road entrance of the V&A: Spiral Building, V&A, Daniel Libeskind, 1996- The tour begins at the Exhibition Road entrance to the V&A, dominated now by a screen erected by Aston Webb in 1909 to mask the original boiler house yard beyond. Note the damage to the stonework, caused by a bomb during the Second World War and left as a memorial. Turn right to walk north up Exhibition Road, 50 yards on your right is the: Henry Cole Wing, V&A, Henry Scott with Henry Cole and Richard Redgrave, 1868-73 Henry Cole was the first director of the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A).

  • Chapter 3: Delivery Plan
    Chapter Three Delivery Plan 3. Delivery Plan 3.1 Introduction This chapter sets out our delivery plan to achieve our LIP objectives, as identified in Chapter 2. It is structured as follows: • Section 3.2 identifies potential funding sources for 2011/12 to 2013/14. • Section 3.3 summarises our delivery actions for this time period and beyond, and describes how the proposed interventions will deliver our LIP objectives. • Section 3.4 sets out our high level programme of investment for this time period (extending to 2015/16 with respect to our proposed major schemes), based on the delivery actions. This section also describes how our more detailed annual programme will be drawn up in the form of an Annual Spending Submission to Transport for London. • Finally, Section 3.5 outlines our approach to programme risk management. 3.2 Potential funding sources Table 3.1 identifies potential funding sources for implementation of our LIP, including our three-year LIP funding allocation from TfL, contributions from the council’s revenue support grant and funding from other sources including developers, local businesses, and specific grants from government (e.g. the Community Infrastructure Fund). These funding levels may vary in total and between individual years of the programme. Our key source of funding is our LIP allocation from TfL, which amounts to £8 million across three years for LIP-funded schemes. We have supplemented this with £15 million of the council’s own funding. This represents a significant investment in our transport networks given the current economic climate. Of this, £11 million has been allocated to maintenance.
