In order of the Registrar’s preference these are: 1. Book on-line by starting at the LAS home page www.las.org.uk then follow the obvious links. After the deadline the fee will be collected by direct-debit. If you have already set one up and used it at least once in the year it should still be active so no further action is necessary. We aim to return on-line booking confirmations by email within a week of the booking deadline. 2. Book on-line as above but pay by posting us a cheque before the booking deadline. Please write on the cheque the maximum fee in words but leave the figures box blank for the LAS to complete when the actual amount is known . Post the cheque to the address shown below. If the names on the cheque and booking form differ please enclose a note to clarify. No SAE is needed as your booking confirmation will be returned by email. 3. Book by post and pay by cheque: printed forms are enclosed for those who have used them in the past. For cheque instructions see above. Either send us your email address or enclose a stamped addressed envelope for your booking confirmation. There is no longer any additional fee for booking by post. Please allow two weeks for your confirmation to arrive by post. Where to send postal bookings and cheques Mary Lewis, 64 Ferndown Avenue, Orpington BR6 8DF General Booking Rules . Any two members may book on the same form whether they have the same address or not. In such cases an event requested by both will be allocated to both members or to neither. If there are two direct-debits in force then the fee will be split appropriately between them. Please remember to give your order of preference for each event. These guide the allocation of events and also give the LAS useful information on which events are most popular. When the same event is available on two or more dates/times you may select any or all: the booking program will allocate you a place at no more than one of them. Multiple requests for the same event may, exceptionally, be given the same order of preference value. Before the booking deadline guests may be invited only to events where this is explicitly shown in the Blue Book, but applications for guests will not be successful if an event is fully booked by members. Whenever tickets are needed for an event such as a concert the Tour Leader will hand them out on the day at the designated meeting place. Please note the booking deadline (see page 5): all postal and on-line bookings received on or before that date will be included in the general ballot. After that, typically, only a small number of events will have vacancies. The on-line booking form will be updated to show which events are still available for late bookings and at that stage applications for guests can be made for all such events. 3 What to do if you cannot use a place you have been allocated Most events are oversubscribed so we try to re-fill vacancies wherever possible from the waiting list. If you cancel your place and we are able to refill it then you will automatically be given a credit for it in the next booking period. • If you can access the Internet the events booking section of the LAS website now allows you to notify us that you wish to cancel a place that has been allocated to you. If there is a waiting list and there is enough time then all those on the waiting list will told of the vacancy by email. We have found such vacancies are quickly filled, so waiting list members should not delay making their application. Once the place is filled the event will disappear from the list of events with spare places. • If you cannot access the Internet then please telephone Joy or Mike Lever on (020) 8462 9241. They have volunteered to use the on-line system on your behalf. Note that a few hosts insist on having in advance the names of every member of any visiting group “for security, you know”. Asterisked events in this Blue Book are 29, 68 and 76. If you have to drop out of such an event LAS will not be able to replace you or allow you a credit, but it is still helpful to know if you are not planning to attend, so please use the cancellation system outlined above anyway. Dietary Requirements. When you book an event which includes a meal for which we have to pre-order we will send you details of any choices available. Insurance against Injury or Loss. LAS tries to ensure that all the venues we visit and all the guides we use are fully insured and LAS also has its own Public Liability Insurance. But the Society and its officers cannot be held responsible for death or injury to members or loss or damage to property at any time or however caused. General Data Protection Regulations. These Regulations came into force on 25 May 2018. They require LAS to tell you what data about you LAS holds and how we use it. The only data we hold is what you provided on your membership application form and booking forms: i.e. title, names, postal address, telephone numbers, email address, your status within the LAS such as officer or committee member, any dietary or access needs, which events you applied for and booked, and what method you use for booking and payment. The data are stored on paper or on the personal computers of the Membership Secretary, the Registrar and where necessary other members helping to run the Society. The LAS also stores some data on an external database in order to operate the event booking system and so that the LAS can send emails to all members. Only those who help to run LAS have access to your data and only for the purposes of running the society. We do not share any of it with any other organization. The secure servers of Go Cardless store the bank account information you provided to them for direct-debits, but these details cannot be accessed by the LAS. 4 Attending Events • The Blue Book is prepared some months before events take place so it is in your interest to check the details of travel arrangements before you set out. For National Rail telephone 03457 484950, website www.nationalrail.co.uk : for Transport for London telephone 0343 222 1234, website www.tfl.gov.uk. • Unless the Blue Book mentions car parking explicitly, assume there is none. • Always meet, please, at the designated meeting place and not at the venue if this is different.

  • LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2010
    LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2010 Thu 2 Sept 2010 Summer Evening Walk - London's Parks 7ml. Start Holland Park Tube stn 6.00 pm for a walk through Holland Park, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park, St James Park to finish in Trafalgar Square. Pub Dry Shades, Whitehall. Ldr Rob Myers Summary: This additional summer evening walk was hastily arranged at the last moment in response to requests to extend the season. The email circulated just before the walk seemed to encourage some members to try a summer evening walk for the first time. On a perfect late summer night 22 walkers gathered at Holland Park. We did a circuit through this attractive park before proceeding to Kensington Gardens. Here we looked at the annual floral tributes left on the main gate of Kensington Palace on the anniversary of Princess Diana's death. The route through Kensington Gardens went passed the Diana Adventure Playground, the Flower Gardens and Speke's Monument before reaching the top of the Serpentine. Walking down the side of the Serpentine we crossed into Hyde Park and from there to Green Park and St James's Park. Leaving the parks we symbolically finished the last summer evening walk in Trafalgar Square. Due to the early sunset and early park closures it was decided to start the walk at 6 and finish at 8.15. This left plenty of time for socialising at the Old Shades pub which served excellent beer and probably the best sausage and mash that I have ever tasted. Rob Wed 25 Aug 2010 Summer Evening Walk - Regent's Park area 7ml.

The statement is for the use of local residents, community groups, businesses, property owners, architects and developers as an aid to the formulation and design of development proposals and change in the area. The statement will be used by the Council in the assessment of all development proposals. Camden has a duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.” Designation provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance the special interest of such an area. Designation also introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings. The Council’s policies and guidance for Conservation Areas are contained in the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This Statement is part of SPG and gives additional detailed guidance in support of UDP policies. The Statement describes the character of the area, provides an outline of the key issues and identifies development pressures which are currently a cause of concern.

Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration. See for example, COIL: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1439963.
