  • Discover the City the City of London Visitor Destination Strategy (2019-2023)
    M Discover the City The City Of London Visitor Destination Strategy (2019-2023) Draft Commissioned by: City of London Corporation Written by: Carmel Dennis and Richard Smith Edited by: Flagship Consulting RJS Associates Ltd E: [email protected] 1 Foreword “Our role in presenting the City, and indeed London, as an unparalleled world-class destination remains steadfast. We are blessed to be custodians of such an asset.” With over 2,000 years of experience in welcoming the world, the City has always been, and continues to be, one of the most historic, yet innovative destinations, welcoming business and leisure visitors from across the globe. Nationally, it leads all English local authorities for its use of heritage to foster a distinctive identity and enjoys the number one spot for engagement in culture, as identified in the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce’s (RSA) latest Heritage Index (2016), and in the Government-commissioned Active Lives Survey conducted by Ipsos MORI in 2017. This is the City of London Corporation’s fourth Visitor Strategy, its first was produced in 2007 and its most recent in 2013. Since that last strategy, huge progress has been made in delivering its vision – to significantly develop our visitor economy and, in so doing, enhance London’s attractiveness as place to visit and do business. In 2017, the City recorded increases against the strategy’s baselines of 19% in visits to its various attractions, 107% in visitors overall1, and 109% in visitor spend. Today, the sector is estimated to support over 18,000 jobs in the City.

  • Beyond the Compact City: a London Case Study – Spatial Impacts, Social Polarisation, Sustainable 1 Development and Social Justice
    University of Westminster Duncan Bowie January 2017 Reflections, Issue 19 BEYOND THE COMPACT CITY: A LONDON CASE STUDY – SPATIAL IMPACTS, SOCIAL POLARISATION, SUSTAINABLE 1 DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Duncan Bowie Senior Lecturer, Department of Planning and Transport, University of Westminster [email protected] Abstract: Many urbanists argue that the compact city approach to development of megacities is preferable to urban growth based on spatial expansion at low densities, which is generally given the negative description of ‘urban sprawl’. The argument is often pursued on economic grounds, supported by theories of agglomeration economics, and on environmental grounds, based on assumptions as to efficient land use, countryside preservation and reductions in transport costs, congestion and emissions. Using London as a case study, this paper critiques the continuing focus on higher density and hyper-density residential development in the city, and argues that development options beyond its core should be given more consideration. It critiques the compact city assumptions incorporated in strategic planning in London from the first London Plan of 2004, and examines how the both the plan and its implementation have failed to deliver the housing needed by Londoners and has led to the displacement of lower income households and an increase in spatial social polarisation. It reviews the alternative development options and argues that the social implications of alternative forms of growth and the role of planning in delivering spatial social justice need to be given much fuller consideration, in both planning policy and the delivery of development, if growth is to be sustainable in social terms and further spatial polarisation is to be avoided.

  • Disambiguating Language Attitudes Held Towards Sociodemographic Groups and Geographic Areas in South East England
    Disambiguating language attitudes held towards sociodemographic groups and geographic areas in South East England Amanda Cole [email protected] Department of Language and Linguistics, University of Essex, Colchester, U.K. This paper has been accepted for publication and will appear in a revised form, subsequent to editorial input by Cambridge University Press, in Journal of Linguistic Geography published by Cambridge University Press. Copyright Cambridge University Press. 1 ABSTRACT Using a novel, digitized method, this paper investigates the language attitudes of 18- to 33-year-olds in South East England. More broadly, this paper demonstrates that disambiguating the language attitudes held towards sociodemographic groups and geographic areas is paramount to understanding the configuration of language attitudes in an area, particularly, for areas with high cultural and linguistic heterogeneity. A total of 194 respondents evaluated the speech of 102 south-eastern speakers. Results reveal an imperfect mapping between language attitudes held towards geographic areas and speakers from these areas. Although East London and Essex are the most negatively evaluated areas, speakers’ demographic and identity data is the primary factor conditioning language attitudes. Across South East England, working-class and/or BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) speakers, as well as those who identify their accent in geographically marked terms are evaluated most negatively, which is compounded if they are from East London or Essex. Keywords: language attitudes; accents in South East England; solidarity and social status; perceptual dialectology; standard language ideology 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Analysing Language Attitudes in their Social and Geographic Context In language attitude and perceptual dialectology work, linguists are often presented with the consideration of how to disambiguate language attitudes held towards geographic areas and sociodemographic groups.

  • 62 - the Directories of London and the Home Counties
    RESEARCH GUIDE 62 - The Directories of London and the Home Counties CONTENTS The uses of directories Points to remember when using the directories Guide to the directories of London and the Home Counties held in LMA Bibliography The uses of directories London Metropolitan Archives (LMA)&#39 extensive collection includes volumes of trade, street, court and local directories, the earliest dating from 1677. These directories have been perceived as transient, ephemeral publications, to be discarded after subsequent editions were produced. Yet, taken as a set, they are of considerable value as a source of evidence of the social, commercial and topographical development of the metropolis. Examples of use include: As a genealogical source that can be useful in tracing occupancy and trades of individuals. As a source for the history of businesses and institutions. To establish links between street naming and the occupations of the streets' inhabitants, e.g. Milk Street was named after the milk sellers who traditionally traded in that street. To investigate the municipal development of London. The early directories chart the year by year development of street numbering and naming that followed the Court of Common Council's 1765 Bill, introducing street numbering to the City of London. Points to remember when using the directories It is important to remember, when consulting directories, that they are not an official source of information but were produced commercially by independent publishers. Hence, especially before the later half of the nineteenth century, format and coverage of the directories are not consistent. Frederick Kelly's Post Office London Directory dominated the market from the mid nineteenth century but before this time other publishers, such as Holden, Johnstone and Underhill produced more comprehensive volumes.

  • Royal Jews: Jewish Life in Berkshire from the Readmission Till Today
    10.14324/111.444.jhs.2016v47.014 Royal Jews: Jewish Life in Berkshire from the Readmission till Today jonathan romain In a previous article for Transactions,1 I covered the remarkable history of the medieval river Jews – those who arrived after the Norman Conquest, settled in London and then gradually moved out along the River Thames to places where Jews today go for Sunday picnics (to Windsor, Marlow, Henley), which were certainly not high-density Jewish areas in the Middle Ages, but where there was a Jewish presence. That came to an end following the expulsion of the Jews in 1290 and lasted until their readmission by Cromwell in 1656. In reality there were a few exceptions by those who made brief appearances in the area under examination, Berkshire (but occasionally straying across its borders to South Buckinghamshire and parts of Oxfordshire). One such individual was found in 1450 living near Eton College, which had been established ten years earlier by Henry VI. Once discovered, the only way he could remain in the country was to be baptized. This occurred under the auspices of the king and so he took the name Henry of Eton, presumably a way of reflecting both his loyalty to the monarch and his place of residence at the time. He went to live in the Domus Conversorum in London, but left after three years, after which his whereabouts are unknown.2 A much longer resident was a Jew who converted and took the name Henry of Windsor, who stayed there from 1488 until his death in 1509.3 Everything changed after Cromwell: Jews emerged in London and later migrated to the Home Counties, the area west of London covering Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire.
