“Good morning my dear Agathi And lo and behold we have light. How is it you’re looking so glum?” And now that I’m warm and have vision I spy specks of dust on the stair “Oh surely it isn’t still morning, So I get out the vacuum and clean it I thought it was well after one. Which leaves only the leak to repair”. I’m feeling so tired and worried My problems are more than a few. “ What leak are you meaning Agathi Natassa Karli, Christina Vagioti, Maria Kalli, Evangelia Roussou, Kay Stavrinou. I arrived here as usual at seven I have heard of no leakage before?” When the Heath was still covered in dew” “ Oh didn’t I mention the puddle “But why do you do this Agathi? I found on the lavatory floor? I really would like to know why. I went down on my knees and removed it When the EU dictates an eight hour working day Then swiftly made straight for the door. You simply refuse to comply” It’s already past nine in the morning And my office is still firmly closed “Indeed I can tell you the reason On my desk are piled papers for checking So just give me time to explain The Hellenic Centre Staff : Natassa Karli, Marian Barbut, Maria Kalli, Evangelia Roussou, Kay Stavrinou, And queries galore juxtaposed. Grace Harrison Ronge, Christina Vagioti, Larisa Kerkache, A. Kalisperas , Olga Moutsa. By describing the events of last Monday Then you’ll see I have cause to complain. “ I step into the lift quite expecting Last Sunday I left about midnight To be transported smoothly aloft When the dinner-dance guests went away…” When three hours later I’m rescued I’m so dizzy my brain has gone soft. “ I still don’t know why you should linger So I leave all the staff to control things And cannot just go your way While I stagger off home to my bed…” What keeps you there well after hours Why on earth do you feel you must stay?” “That’s precisely my point dear Agathi They can cope without you as I said. “ I ensure that all guests are still breathing And no-one’s collapsed in a chair “ But enough of this teasing and chatter And I’m ready to answer the phone - For there are serious points to be made. Though I do admit night calls are rare. I know that I speak for everyone here If ever there should be a riot When I say you put all in the shade I could call for the fire brigade With your love and devotion and caring My staff are all capable people For the Centre and everything Greek But I am the best at First Aid You welcome the members, you make lots of cash You’re the salt of the earth so to speak. “ Anyway I came early on Monday So be healthy and happy Agathi And lo and behold there’s no light We’re so grateful for all that you do The Centre’s as cold as an iceberg We hope we’re together in fifteen years’ time Everything has packed up in the night. To celebrate thirty with you”. So I inspect the boiler for damage “ So now let us all raise our glasses And see that the pump is kaput. And join in a toast once again I am grimly determined to fix it To our Director and all of her team here And I start it by stamping my foot. For where would we be without them”. Of course I did all that in darkness Because, as I said, it’s still night Valerie Kleanthous So I check all the fuses and sockets Founder

The world has changed since we celebrated our fi fteenth anniversary ten years ago, and the Centre has changed too, meeting and building on new challenges. In the last decade, the economic crisis in Greece has brought many more young Greeks to London; at the same time, it has turned the eyes of the outside world toward Greece in search of understanding—and also signs of hope. As so often in the last two centuries, Greece has been the canary in the coalmine, experiencing social and political upheavals that have since been echoed in other parts of Europe, while at the same time spearheading a cultural renaissance. The infl ux of young Greeks, the growth of social media, and the renewed interest in The Chairman and Members of the Council all things Hellenic have enlivened the Centre The Founder Mr Andrea A.

But if you raise your eyes to the worn stone cartouche above the grand front porch, you can just make out the words “Central Institute for Swedish Gymnastics” bracketed between a pair of carved curling leaves. Our building was commissioned in 1910 from the architectural practice of Forsyth and Maule by Allan Broman (1861-1947), a pioneer of Swedish medical gymnastics and massage—a forerunner of modern physiotherapy. This system of exercise was invented in Stockholm in the early nineteenth century by Per Henrik Ling as a way to improve the physical fitness of schoolchildren, the army and the general population, and to promote recovery after illness. The building also contained lecture halls and classrooms for training teachers of the Swedish system.

The high walls of the Great Hall were lined with gymnastic bars, and exercise mats replaced the hospital beds on the floor. Both male and female instructors were employed; by the 1960s, photographs show women only classes with updated equipment and a basketball net on the far wall. In later years the building was used to train women to teach adult physical education.

In 1914, with the sudden Toutbreak of war, it was transformed into the Swedish War Hospital for British Wounded; a stone inscription to the left of the front door commemorates that part of its history.
