Anello Building THE ANELLO BUILDING A window of opportunity has enabled the residential conversion of this beautiful warehouse building. Believed to have been originally built by De Havilland for the manufacture of aircraft parts it then became the home of Anello & Davide the theatrical shoe manufacturers. For many years designing and hand making for the endless list of stars of stage and screen. This design was beautifully adapted to become the iconic Beatle boot that all the pop bands favoured and produced the Saturday morning, famously long queues to the A&D shops in Drury Lane. Following the sale of Anello & Davide, the building was let to a photographic library which then evolved into Getty Images. The timely cessation of their lease has contributed to this warehouse’s further metamorphosis. A number of enduring architectural virtues at The Anello Building reflect the fresh modern thinking of the 1930s. Flanked by a pair of elegant stairwell towers, the exterior shines with the huge factory windows that are so reminiscent of the era, and that provide a rich foundation for the contemporary lofts within.

BAYHAM STREETAnello Building With its combination of markets and music, historic streets, Mornington Crescent beautiful parks and peaceful waterways, Camden is now rooted in the minds of people from across the world as an extraordinary, King’s Cross fascinating and decidedly liveable neighbourhood, right in the St Pancras REGENT’S International PARK centre of London. Euston Immortalised in film, song and literature, Camden began life as an important location in the early development of the railways BLOOMSBURY and as part of the London Canal Network. But its place in the heart of contemporary Londoners stems from rather more recent Regent’s Park Marylebone history, when, in 1973, a former timber yard was turned into Camden Lock Market. Today, that market has swelled to what MARYLEBONE FITZROVIA HOLBORN is effectively London’s very own Grand Bazaar: five outlandishly Tottenham Court Road urban medinas overflowing with furniture, art, fashion and more in the city’s most diverse and rambunctious milieu. Despite a remarkable position in the very centre of Camden, just one road away from the vibrant hustle of the high street and markets, it is hard to believe The Anello Building is merely 100 meters away from the pulsating heart of London’s most effervescent neighbourhood, which now include plans for technology hubs. This combined with the close proximity with the regeneration of Kings Cross gives the location of Anello a unique mix of business, creativity and leisure.

The majority of the urban framework comprises Victorian terracing surrounding the conserved historic cores of Stonebridge, Willesden, Bowes Park and Camden which date from Saxon times and are recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). There is extensive industrial and modern residential development (most notably at Park Royal) along the main rail and road infrastructure. The principal open spaces extend across the summits of the ridge, with large parks at Wormwood Scrubs, Regents Park and Hampstead Heath and numerous cemeteries.

Reviewed by James Heartfield (Freelance, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1–2 (Spring/Autumn 2015) Bloomsbury and Soho in the nineteenth century were places where political refugees lived, though the Germans preferred Bloomsbury, just to the north, on the grounds that the Parisians of Soho were all drunks and womanisers. Phil Cohen is a long-standing activist and now academic, who has written his memoir of radical Bloomsbury, while writer and club manager Sophie Parkin’s history of drinking clubs takes Soho as its epicentre, and in particular the Colony Club on Dean Street. Phil Cohen was sent to St Paul’s School and later Oxford, but his attention was taken up by the London of Somerstown and Bloomsbury. As a youth worker, he wandered through the radical 1960s, being involved in various movements of the Fluxus and Situationist art scene that he met in bookshops like Better Books, India, and later Gay’s the Word, and working for a while as an assistant to the surrealist John Latham. He participated in the radical psychoanalytic movement led by R. D. Laing, paying for his treatment with more youth work, and then took part in the Dialectic of Liberation conference with Black Power’s Stokely Carmichael, New Leftist Herbert Marcuse and Beat poet Allen Ginsberg at the Roundhouse in 1967.

    Section 11 - Land Use Proposals

    Camden UDP Deposit Draft 2003 – Section 11 - Land Use Proposals Section 11 - Land Use Proposals LU1 - Schedule of Land Use Proposals The Council will grant planning permission for development that is in accordance with the guidance set out in the Schedule of Land Use Proposals. The Council will not grant planning permission for schemes that are contrary to the guidance set out in the Schedule, unless it can be demonstrated that changing circumstances mean an alternative form of development is more appropriate. 11.1 Camden is a very built up Borough, with relatively few large scale development opportunities. Where these opportunities occur, the Council wishes to see sites developed for the most appropriate use in relation to the needs of the Borough, local circumstances and site specific considerations. 11.2 The Schedule of Land Use Proposals gives guidance on appropriate uses on major development sites within the Borough. It sets out the location of the sites, their current and preferred uses and any relevant background information. As it is not practical for the Schedule to include every development site in the Borough, only sites of over 500 square metres, and smaller sites of strategic importance, are included. 11.3 The Council will make decisions on planning applications on sites contained in the Schedule of Land Use Proposals in the light of the guidance in the Schedule and all other relevant policies in the Plan. The Council will grant permission for proposals in accordance with the schedule and other relevant UDP policies. 11.4 The Council has prepared planning briefs for a number of the sites included in the Schedule and will prepare others as appropriate.

    Barking-Gospel Oak Line User Group

    BARKING-GOSPEL OAK LINE USER GROUP www.barking-gospeloak.org.uk RESPONSE TO CROSS-LONDON RUS CONSULTATION Introduction The Barking-Gospel Oak line (BGOL) is one of the few unelectrified routes in an otherwise electrified area. Electrification would be highly desirable, yet it does not feature in the RUS. This is very disappointing, as it would bring a number of advantages: electric-hauled freight trains would be able to use it, and the operator of the Silverlink Metro/North London railway passenger concession would only have one type of rolling stock to maintain. An added advantage is that 3 or 4-car electric units would cope better with increasing passenger loadings than the existing 2-car DMUs, which have difficult coping with peak loadings even now. We believe that without investment in the electrification of the Barking – Gospel Oak Line and other link lines considered in this RUS (Cricklewood to Acton Wells, Acton Wells to Acton Main Line and the Kew Curves) that many of the benefits that this RUS seeks to achieve will not be achievable. We strongly urge Network Rail to upgrade the Felixstowe- Ely – Nuneaton line to the W10 standard loading gauge, so that freight which has no need to pass through London can avoid it altogether and free up much-needed space for additional passenger services and additional freight traffic originating from the planned new Shellhaven development, which is envisaged on both the Barking – Gospel Oak and North London Lines. The same applies to reinstating Cambridge-Bletchley-Bedford. (NB – some existing freight paths on Barking-Gospel Oak have never been used!).
