  • 1 Draft Paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança
    Draft paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança-Portugal University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Portugal [email protected] Power, cosmopolitanism and socio-spatial division in the commercial arena in Victorian and Edwardian London The developments of the English Revolution and of the British Empire expedited commerce and transformed the social and cultural status quo of Britain and the world. More specifically in London, the metropolis of the country, in the eighteenth century, there was already a sheer number of retail shops that would set forth an urban world of commerce and consumerism. Magnificent and wide-ranging shops served householders with commodities that mesmerized consumers, giving way to new traditions within the commercial and social fabric of London. Therefore, going shopping during the Victorian Age became mandatory in the middle and upper classes‟ social agendas. Harrods Department store opens in 1864, adding new elements to retailing by providing a sole space with a myriad of different commodities. In 1909, Gordon Selfridge opens Selfridges, transforming the concept of urban commerce by imposing a more cosmopolitan outlook in the commercial arena. Within this context, I intend to focus primarily on two of the largest department stores, Harrods and Selfridges, drawing attention to the way these two spaces were perceived when they first opened to the public and the effect they had in the city of London and in its people. I shall discuss how these department stores rendered space for social inclusion and exclusion, gender and race under the spell of the Victorian ethos, national conservatism and imperialism.

  • LONDON Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    LONDON Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | London | 2019 0 For decades London has led the way in terms of innovation, fashion and retail trends. It is the focal location for new retailers seeking representation in the United Kingdom. London plays a key role on the regional, national and international stage. It is a top target destination for international retailers, and has attracted a greater number of international brands than any other city globally. Demand among international retailers remains strong with high profile deals by the likes of Microsoft, Samsung, Peloton, Gentle Monster and Free People. For those adopting a flagship store only strategy, London gives access to the UK market and is also seen as the springboard for store expansion to the rest of Europe. One of the trends to have emerged is the number of retailers upsizing flagship stores in London; these have included Adidas, Asics, Alexander McQueen, Hermès and Next. Another developing trend is the growing number of food markets. Openings planned include Eataly in City of London, Kerb in Seven Dials and Market Halls on Oxford Street. London is the home to 8.85 million people and hosting over 26 million visitors annually, contributing more than £11.2 billion to the local economy. In central London there is limited retail supply LONDON and retailers are showing strong trading performances. OVERVIEW Cushman & Wakefield | London | 2019 1 LONDON KEY RETAIL STREETS & AREAS CENTRAL LONDON MAYFAIR Central London is undoubtedly one of the forefront Mount Street is located in Mayfair about a ten minute walk destinations for international brands, particularly those from Bond Street, and has become a luxury destination for with larger format store requirements.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • The Butterflies of North and West London
    The butterflies of north and west London Andrew Wood & Leslie Williams This joint meeting with Butterfly conservation heard, firstly a presentation describing a tour through a fictional part of Middlesex recording every butterfly that occurs and comparing the situation now with that in the mid-1980s. In 1987, using records from 1980-86, reports were published on The butterflies of the London area and The butterflies of Hertfordshire. The presentation covered all London boroughs north of the Thames and west of the Lee Valley, which formerly formed parts of London, Hertfordshire and Middlesex. The area has a lot of very good habitats with a lot of green space including old cemeteries, brownfield sites and areas never built on such as parkland, woodland and farmland. Beginning in the winter, the first butterfly on the wing would be the Red admiral, which probably winters in Britain and each year’s butterflies are not all new immigrants as previously thought. It undergoes a diapause rather than hibernation, sheltering in ivy and other creepers and is active on warm winter days. It was fairly well distributed in the 1980s and is now more common virtually everywhere in north and west London. Red Admiral Comma Peacock In late February-early March, the Comma is the first of the true hibernators to emerge. It is active till late October-early November, feeding up for hibernation. Its distribution has not changed much, being common in the 1980s and common now. At about the same time, the Peacock emerges. It is generally in hibernation by late August, hibernation being governed by day-length rather than temperature.
