  • Star Wars at MT

    Star Wars at MT

    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

Introduction Efforts to build IWM’s reputation as a research organisation continued apace in 2012, with several promising developments. The start of the year saw the beginning of the first IWM project to be wholly funded by a grant from AHRC, following IWM’s achievement of Independent Research Organisation (IRO) status. Whose Remembrance? was a scoping study which set out to investigate levels of awareness of the experiences of the peoples of Britain’s former empire in the two world wars. Its scope and achievements are detailed in the section on ‘successful funding bids’ below. Led by the Research Department, the project – funded under the Connected Communities scheme – addressed a particularly pressing issue and produced lively and engaging workshops during the summer of 2012. The year saw continued effort on Research across IWM. Staff generated over 20 publications and gave presentations at more than 50 workshops, conferences and symposia during the year, in addition to providing advice, expertise and media appearances across a wide range of subjects.
  • Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

Schedule 1pm Introduction from Cliff Lauson 1.10pm Talk: Richard Shiff Richard Shiff discusses the special kind of perception that Bridget Riley’s art provokes. He proposes that Riley’s art represents a distinct kind of ‘composition’, distancing it from the work of previous generations of painters. 2pm Panel Discussion: Colour and Perception In response to Bridget Riley’s ongoing investigation into colour interactions and visual perception, Kassia St Clair, Philip Ball, Liz West and Sophie Oxenbridge contemplate our relationship to colour and the act of looking. 2.45pm Q&A 3pm Break 3.30pm Talk: Éric de Chassey Éric de Chassey explores the apparent paradox that lies at the core of Bridget Riley’s art: in order to solicit personal and subjective responses from her viewers, she creates work in an impersonal and objective manner. 4.20pm Panel Discussion: Curating and Commissioning Lucy Askew, Daniel F.

    Kings Cross to Liverpool Street Via 13 Stations Walk

    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk All London’s railway terminals, the three royal parks, the River Thames and the City Length 21.3km (13.3 miles) for the whole walk, but it is easily split into smaller sections: see Walk Options below Toughness 1 out of 10 - entirely flat, but entirely on hard surfaces: definitely a walk to wear cushioned trainers and not boots. Features This walk links (and in many cases passes through) all thirteen London railway terminals, and tells you something of their history along the way. But its attractions are not just limited to railway architecture. It also passes through the three main Central London parks - Regent’s Park, Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and St James's Parks - and along the Thames into and through the City of London*. It takes in a surprising number of famous sights and a number of characteristic residential and business areas: in fact, if you are first time visitor to London, it is as good an introduction as any to what the city has to offer. Despite being a city centre walk, it spends very little of its time on busy roads, and has many idyllic spots in which to sit or take refreshment. In the summer months you can even have an open air swim midway through the walk in Hyde Park's Serpentine Lido. (* The oldest part of London, now the financial district. Whenever the City, with a capital letter, is used in this document, it has this meaning.) Walk Being in Central London, you can of course start or finish the walk wherever Options you like, especially at the main railway stations that are its principal feature.
