Moving to a new country, or even returning to a country, can be burdened with the mundane of setting up a bank account, registering for council tax, getting a new driver’s licence or just the overall challenge of establishing a new network. FOCUS is here to make this transition, and beyond, as easy and enjoyable as possible. This 15th edition of FOCUS Living in the UK contains essential practical information with invaluable tips giving you direct insight from other expatriates living in the UK. Many FOCUS members have lived here for more than a decade and in doing so have learned how to best navigate the ups and downs of life in the UK. We wanted to share their advice and experiences in order to make your life here both positive and memorable. We have included a number of FOCUS sponsors in this guidebook. We re­ commend you mention FOCUS when contacting them as we have long standing relationships with these companies and they will be able to assist you. Each time we print a new edition of this guide we update the information to reflect the ever­changing landscape of the UK; but moreover, to reflect the needs and interests of our members. This guide provides an excellent starting point but is not exhaustive. For additional recommended resources and information please refer to the FOCUS website or contact our friendly team. We could not have put this together without the dedication of Paola Lon- gobardi, Nancy Dickinson and Alessandra Gnudi. Making it all come together is our talented graphic designer, Jan Dobes to whom we are grateful.

Often one of the first mistakes newly arrived expats make is incorrectly using the terms United Kingdom, Great Britain and England interchangeably. The United Kingdom consists of the entire island of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact, the official name of the country is the ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.’ The United Kingdom is one of the founding members of the United Nations and sits on the United Nations Security Council. Great Britain, on the other hand, is made up of England, Scotland and Wales. Scotland and Wales are not independent countries but do have some autonomy from the United Kingdom with respect to internal governance. The English, Scottish and Welsh each have their own, unique national identity and therefore the Scots do not appreciate mistakenly be referred to as English and visa versa. The Monarchy The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. The monarch of the UK also serves as head of state of the Com- monwealth countries. The members of the Royal Family participate in many public engagements including the commemoration of historical events, holi- days and celebrations. They also sponsor and participate in numerous charita- ble, cultural and social activities in the UK and abroad. Politics The UK has a parliamentary government. The position of Prime Minister, the UK’s head of government, belongs to the Member of Parliament who obtains the majority of votes in the House of Commons. The Parliament of the UK, the ultimate legislative authority, has two houses: an elected House of Commons and an appointed House of Lords and any bill passed requires the consent of HM The Queen to become law. Parliament sessions are broadcast and can be quite informative as well as entertaining. The UK is currently a member of the European Union but has not adopted the euro as its currency. Climate & weather The British Isles have variable and unpredictable weather. You will need to get used to carrying an umbrella with you since rain invariably occurs when you least expect it. The UK generally enjoys milder winters and cooler summers than places of the same latitude in continental Europe. Discussing the weather is a national pastime and, depending on where you are from, may take some time to get used to. 6 FOCUS Living in the UK LIUK==3.indd 6 14.6.2016 12:14:36 British culture The British demonstrate a great deal of tolerance in everyday life. As a result everyone is welcome in Britain, but newcomers are expected to show an interest in Britain and attempt to understand and reproduce what is considered ‘normal’ behaviour. Here are a few FOCUS top tips: Humour The renowned British sense of humour is a vital element in all aspects of British life and culture. Humour, often in the form of self­deprecation or irony, is highly respected. When working with the British you must be able to take a joke! Indirectness The British are known for their politeness and courtesy therefore is it better to avoid direct statements

  • Kensington Square Conservation Area Appraisal Draft May 2017 Adopted: XXXXXXXXX
    Kensington Square Conservation Area Appraisal Draft May 2017 Adopted: XXXXXXXXX Note: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this document but due to the complexity of conservation areas, it would be impossible to include every facet contributing to the area’s special interest. Therefore, the omission of any feature does not necessarily convey a lack of significance. The Council will continue to assess each development proposal on its own merits. As part of this process a more detailed and up to date assessment of a particular site and its context is undertaken. This may reveal additional considerations relating to character or appearance which may be of relevance to a particular case. KENSINGTON SQUARE CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL | 3 Contents 1.

  • 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.
