  • FACE to FACE Gallery News Issue No
    P FACE TO FACE Gallery News Issue no. 6 Autumn 2003 Writing in this issue: Julian Fellowes, Bruce Oldfield and Gerald Scarfe FROM THE DIRECTOR The autumn exhibition Below Stairs: 400 Years of Servants’ Portraits offers an unusual opportunity to see fascinating images of those who usually remain invisible. The exhibition offers intriguing stories of the particular individuals at the centre of great houses, colleges or business institutions and reveals the admiration and affection that caused the commissioning of a portrait or photograph. We are also celebrating the completion of the new scheme for Trafalgar Square with the young people’s education project and exhibition, Circling the Square, which features photographs that record the moments when the Square has acted as a touchstone in history – politicians, activists, philosophers and film stars have all been photographed in the Square. Photographic portraits also feature in the DJs display in the Bookshop Gallery, the Terry O’Neill display in the Balcony Gallery and the Schweppes Photographic Portrait Prize launched in November in the Porter Gallery. Gerald Scarfe’s rather particular view of the men and women selected for the Portrait Gallery is published at the end of September. Heroes & Villains, is a light hearted and occasionally outrageous view of those who have made history, from Elizabeth I and Oliver Cromwell to Delia Smith and George Best. The Gallery is very grateful for the support of all of its Patrons and Members – please do encourage others to become Members and enjoy an association with us, or consider becoming a Patron, giving significant extra help to the Gallery’s work and joining a special circle of supporters.

  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt
    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).

    10/3/2017 Exclusive: Inside The New Luxury Hotel In London's Admiralty Arch / Lifestyle / #DeLuxe OCT 3, 2017 @ 10:14 AM 32 Exclusive: Inside The New Luxury Hotel In London's Admiralty Arch Doug Gollan, CONTRIBUTOR FULL BIO Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Built as a monument to the British Navy and a memorial to Queen Victoria, Admiralty Arch is one of London's most notable landmarks. Gateway to The Mall, it straddles the processional route that leads to Buckingham Palace. Every time a Head of State visits the UK and goes to meet The Queen, they drive through the arch. Every time there is a Royal wedding or funeral, they drive through the Arch. For Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953, her procession came through Admiralty Arch on the way from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace (pictured below). In 2020, fully restored to its former grandeur, it will open as a 100-room luxury hotel. In an exclusive preview for Forbes.com, below are interior shots of The Mountbatten Suites, by the interior decorator David Mlinaric (the National Gallery, Royal Opera House, Victoria and Albert Museum and private clients such as Lord Rothschild and Mick Jagger). While usually, suites are the last part of the construction, in this case, the developer wanted to get to know the building and understand any challenges it might throw up. Former residents of the building include Winston Churchill (before becoming Prime Minister and moving to Downing Street) and Lord Mountbatten and his father. Future James Bond creator Ian Fleming worked as personal assistant to the Director of the Naval Intelligence Division at Admiralty Arch.
