Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow A systematic visual catalogue Jean-Yves BLAISE Iwona DUDEK Different faces of one ‘idea’ Section three, presents a selection of analogous examples (European public use and commercial buildings) so as to help the reader weigh to which extent the layout of Krakow’s marketplace, as well as its architectures, can be related to other sites. Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

  • 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.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
