The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

  • Best Wishes to All Friends for a Happy 2019!
    BEST WISHES TO ALL FRIENDS FOR A HAPPY 2019! PARK WALK The next Friends event will be a walk on Sunday 3 March. Meet at the Café at 10am for a gentle explor- ation lasting about an hour and a half. Our December walk drew a friendly crowd, seen here slightly dazzled by the bright winter sun – do join us for to the next one! All welcome, just turn up. THE RETURN OF LOVEBOX AND CITADEL The CIC has agreed to the Lovebox and Citadel festivals returning to the same area of the park as 2018 on 12, 13 and 14 July. The Ealing Events announcement stated that several key aspects will be changed in the light of feed-back from residents, statutory authorities and other stakeholders. It refers to better management of pedestrian access to and from the park, improving parking arrangements and managing traffic. It promises other changes, details to come and a better consultation process with residents. Last year they brushed aside the fears of the local residents on the grounds they were highly experienced organisers, then afterwards made a series of abject apologies for the distress they created around the Park. If they are truly listening this year, the consultation meetings will be important. We will circulate the dates when we have them. 'KINGDOM OF THE ICE AGE' Animatronic woolly mammoths will be moving into the Park in the spring. The contractors will be setting up the exhibits from 27 March onwards and paying visitors will be admitted between 6 and 28 April. Everything will be off site by 7 May.

  • Eltham Palace Wedding Brochure 2018
    Eltham Palace and Gardens was the dazzling home of a millionaire couple, whose lifestyle encapsulated the glamour of high society living on the eve of the Second World War. Virginia Courtauld was vivacious and chic. Her husband, Stephen, was her opposite, cautious and reserved. But they shared a vision of a life in luxury and, in 1933, Eltham was the place they chose to create it. The medieval Great Hall, boyhood home of King Henry VIII, was their starting point. They built a striking Art Deco house attached to the hall, packed with all the latest mod cons. Friends would visit and enjoy croquet and a drop of brandy in their afternoon tea, or twilight cocktails on the terrace. When the war broke out, life inevitably changed. But even as the couple retreated to their luxurious bomb shelter, the door always stood open for visitors. Your wedding day will lead you and your guests over Eltham’s ancient bridge into this remarkable world. Emulate 1930s sophistication with a ceremony in the curved Entrance Hall. Whether you enter through the double doors, or down the curved staircase, you can stand together under the glass domed roof to make your vows. From here, lead your guests out for drinks on the terrace, where spring time wisteria tumbles over the pergola. Or step into the drawing room to gather around the marble fireplace and grand piano. As the evening draws in, head into the medieval Great Hall where you can dine in splendour as royalty once did, then dance into the night as a backdrop of stars appears through the double height bay windows.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.
