    LONDON THE WORLD’S CHANGED. Technology now enables us to do so much more, but we can’t forget what it is that inspires us to explore. Whilst celebrating how wonderful technology is, it’s also good to lift your eyes away from the screen and truly get under the skin of a place, seeing it through the eyes of a local. ENCOURAGING CONVERSATIONS, AND DISCOVERING WHERE THEY WILL TAKE YOU. LONDON Our fourth instalment takes you to the world’s most visited city, and the city where it all began for us: London. Experience our own recommendations, whilst starting the conversation and discovering your own favourite hot spots. This is less about exploring the iconic sites and more about getting under the skin of our home city. England LHR ENGLISH GBP +44 Where’s the best place to grab brunch? 1 Head to Chelsea before 11am and go to The Orange for brunch – you’ll want to order the eggs royale and a kiwi, apple & mint juice – it’s one of our favourite brunch spots in London. Ask your server where the best patisserie is nearby to grab some freshly baked treats, then go there. 37-39 Pimlico Road, SW1W 8NE Belgravia Sloane Square (Circle & District Lines) Where’s the best place to go swimming? 2 Pack a picnic, head northwest to Hampstead Heath and take a refreshing dip in the Hampstead swimming ponds; the best place to cool off on a hot summer’s day.

    A4 Executive Decision Report Decision maker and Leadership Team 15 July 2020 date of Leadership Forward Plan reference: 05672/20/K/A Team meeting or (in the case of individual Lead Portfolio: Cllr Mary Weale, Lead Member Member decisions) the for Finance and Customer Delivery earliest date the decision will be taken Report title 2019/20 Financial Outturn Reporting officer Mike Curtis – Executive Director Resources Key decision Yes Access to information Public classification 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY General Fund Revenue Position 1.1. The overall position on services is a small overspend of £143,000 (including Grenfell). In addition, there is an underspend of £10.4m on corporate items, of which £3.8m is due to the full implementation of the Treasury Management Strategy and increased investment income which has been reported for most of the year. This is a one-off underspend and budgets have been adjusted for 2020/21. The remainder relates to the corporate contingency and the provision set aside for the pension fund liability which has not been required during the year. Further details are set out in paragraph 5.2. 1.2. After the proposed transfer of the £11.3m to earmarked reserves, the Council will maintain its General Fund working balance at £10m. This £10m is in line with what is agreed in the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy and reserves policy. General Fund Capital Programme 1.3. The total original General Fund Capital Programme budget in 2019/20, including budget carried forward from the 2018/19 was £163.066m. During the first three quarters of the year, there was a total variance of £91.249m giving a current budget of £71.817m.

  • 5(Ii) Petition
    5(ii) THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA COUNCIL MEETING – 26 JUNE 2019 REPORT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITIES PETITION FOR DEBATE – SAVE THE TREES ON NOTTING HILL GATE AND HOLLAND PARK AVENUE A petition calls for trees not to be cut down on Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park Avenue. The report explains: Transport for London proposes the removal of 26 trees to accommodate a segregated cycle route on Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park Avenue. the Council does not support Transport for London’s proposals the Council is the highway authority for Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park Avenue and is responsible for the trees the Council has no plans to remove trees from Notting Hill Gate or Holland Park Avenue FOR DISCUSSION 1. THE PETITION 1.1 There is a petition online signed by around 6,500 people addressed to the Mayor of London, Transport for London and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: “Save the trees on Holland Park Avenue and Notting Hill Gate. Transport for London want to cut down multiple historic trees in a heavily congested area where they are desperately needed to defend against the relentless pollution. Three billion trees must be planted by 2050 to end Britain's contribution to global warming, yet TFL seem to want to take steps in the opposite direction, in their proposal to cut down 19 trees. Transport for London will be putting cyclists lives at risk to introduce a new cycle lane in this traffic-heavy area, chopping down trees to accommodate it.

  • Mary and George Watts, Can Be Viewed As A
    The following extract has kindly been provided by Dr Lucy Ella Rose, from her published work Suffragists Artists in Partnership. Edinburgh University Press (2018), Chapter 1 - Mary and George Watts. We are grateful to Lucy for allowing this to be used as part of ‘The March of the Women’ project resource. Practice and Partnership Much has been written about the famous Victorian artist George Watts, and yet the life and work of Mary Watts, and the couple’s progressive socio-political positions as conjugal creative partners and women’s rights supporters, are comparatively neglected. Long-eclipsed by the dominant critical focus on her husband, and known primarily as the worshipping wife of a world-famous artist, Mary was a pioneering professional woman designer and ceramicist as well as a painter, illustrator and writer. Despite her prominence in her own lifetime, she is little-known today. The lack of critical and biographical material on her is disproportionate to the originality, high quality and multi-faceted nature of her oeuvre, encompassing fine art, gesso relief, sculpture, ceramic and textile design, and architecture. Art historian Mark Bills’s chapter on the Wattses in An Artists’ Village: G. F. Watts and Mary Watts at Compton (Bills 2011: 9–23) incorporates the brief sections ‘Married Life’ and ‘A Partnership’, and yet they perpetuate rather than challenge traditional views of the couple. The former section presents Mary ‘in awe of [George], overwhelmed by his reputation […] as devoted and admiring as ever […] in her subservient role’ (2011: 14–15). Bills alludes to, without contesting, the popular public perception of Mary as George’s ‘nurse’ and ‘slave’ who ‘worshipped him blindly’ (2011: 15-16).

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.
