  • Urban Geology in Chelsea: a Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 33 Urban Geology in Chelsea: A Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall Situated in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Sloane Square SW1, and several of the neighbouring streets are named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) who lived in the area in the mid 18th Century. The area is now owned by the Cadogan Estate Ltd. The Cadogan family inherited this from Sloane via his daughter, Elizabeth and it is still the hands of the 8th Earl Cadogan. The eldest sons of this family inherit the title Viscount Chelsea and this area is one of the top pieces of real estate in the country, earning the family over £5 billion per year. It is correspondingly a pleasant area to stroll around, the home to designer shops, the Saatchi Gallery as well as a theatre and concert venue. Development took place between the mid 19th Century and the present day and displays a range of stones fairly typical of London Building during this period – along with a few surprises. Fountain, Sloane Square, with Peter Jones Department Store behind. This walk starts at Sloane Square Underground Station on Holbein Place, and takes in the Square itself, the southern end of Sloane Street, Duke of York Square and the eastern end of the King’s Road. It is easy to return to Sloane Square station when finished, or you could visit the Saatchi Gallery which displays a collection of contemporary art to suit all tastes (and none). For the buildings described below, architectural information below is derived from Pevsner’s guide to North West London (Cherry & Pevsner, 1991), unless otherwise cited.

    HS2 Growth Task Force – The Challenge Response from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham The local authorities welcome HS2 Limited’s revised delivery role to make High Speed 2 an engine for growth. They are pleased to be able to provide the following response that identifies specific opportunities for the development of land at and around the proposed Old Oak Common HS2 / Crossrail station, and demonstrates how these opportunities can be realised to maximise local economic growth. The authorities would also like to draw attention to how the design and development of Old Oak Common station can best support regional development, how parts of this development can be delivered in advance of HS2, and highlight an opportunity to achieve a capital return on the North Pole Depot which is owned by the Department for Transport. This response identifies the opportunity for 92,000 jobs and 22,500 new homes. However, without the outlined changes to current HS2 proposals half the new homes and a quarter of the new jobs will not be created and redevelopment of Kensal Canalside Opportunity Area will be effectively sterilised. Connecting markets, businesses and people Question 1: Do cities have visions and strategic plans to maximise growth from HS2? 1.1 In central west London an Opportunity Area Planning Framework for Old Oak Common is being produced by LB Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF), LB Brent and LB Ealing in partnership with the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL).
