    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.
  • Debenhams: the Rise and Fall of a British Retail Institution Rupert Neate

    Debenhams: the Rise and Fall of a British Retail Institution Rupert Neate

    Debenhams: the rise and fall of a British retail institution Rupert Neate The Gaurdian.com 1 December 2020 Founded in 1778, Debenhams was one of the largest and most historic department store chains in the world. The business was formed by William Clark as a single high end drapers store at 44 Wigmore Street in London’s West End. It rose to become one of the biggest retailers in the UK with, at one point, more than 200 large stores across 18 countries and exclusive partnerships with some of the world’s best-known designers including Jasper Conran and Julien Macdonald. But on Tuesday, the shutters finally came down as administrators announced the chain would be wound down and all of its remaining 124 stores shut, putting potentially all of its 12,000 employees out of work. The demise of Debenhams comes just a day after Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group retail empire collapsed into administration, putting a further 13,000 jobs at risk. In the 1980s and 1990s both retailers had been part of the vast Burton Group, founded by Sir Montague Maurice Burton. Clark’s business remained just the single shop on Wigmore Street until 1813 when he teamed up with Suffolk businessman William Debenham, and expanded into two stores on opposite sides of the street. One was known as Debenham & Clark and the other known as Clark & Debenham. The first store outside London – and an exact replica of the original Wigmore Street shop – was opened in Cheltenham in 1818. “In the ensuing years the firm prospered from the Victorian fashion for family mourning by which widows and other female relatives adhered to a strict code of clothing and etiquette,” the company says on its website.

    British Display Society Recognising Excellence Established 1947 FORTNUM & MASON, PICCADILLY, LONDON Christmas Street decorations at CHAPEL OF LOVE St Christopher’s Place, London BDS - Representing the Visual Merchandising profession 2020 No.1 Welcome from the Chairman This year has not started well for fans of historic department stores. Sadly, Beales which opened in Bournemouth in 1881 and its other stores across the country fell into administration. Debenhams which traces its history back to 1778 named many stores shortly to close. Coupled with this, we learn that Boswell & Co in Oxford which dates back to 1738 is almost certain to close with the owners blaming the ‘current economic retail climate’ Times are certainly tough on the High Street have been so for some time, but I can’t help thinking that there are a number of retailers who just cannot seem to move forward with the times and current trends and wonder why they are struggling in the current economy. We all appreciate that On-Line Shopping, High Street Parking Charges and Business Rates are factors as to why retail is failing, however I look at stores such as Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason, where business is very brisk. I recently read an article about Dunelm who defy the gloom of UK retail by posting a major jump in profits. In the 6 months to Dec 28, sales jumped by 6% to £585m with pre- tax profits up 19.4% to £84.9m. Retailers must reinvent themselves to stay, not only, competitive but to become a Destination store. With some many retailers, it is matter of creating ‘Retail Theatre’.

    1 Draft Paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança

    Draft paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança-Portugal University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Portugal [email protected] Power, cosmopolitanism and socio-spatial division in the commercial arena in Victorian and Edwardian London The developments of the English Revolution and of the British Empire expedited commerce and transformed the social and cultural status quo of Britain and the world. More specifically in London, the metropolis of the country, in the eighteenth century, there was already a sheer number of retail shops that would set forth an urban world of commerce and consumerism. Magnificent and wide-ranging shops served householders with commodities that mesmerized consumers, giving way to new traditions within the commercial and social fabric of London. Therefore, going shopping during the Victorian Age became mandatory in the middle and upper classes‟ social agendas. Harrods Department store opens in 1864, adding new elements to retailing by providing a sole space with a myriad of different commodities. In 1909, Gordon Selfridge opens Selfridges, transforming the concept of urban commerce by imposing a more cosmopolitan outlook in the commercial arena. Within this context, I intend to focus primarily on two of the largest department stores, Harrods and Selfridges, drawing attention to the way these two spaces were perceived when they first opened to the public and the effect they had in the city of London and in its people. I shall discuss how these department stores rendered space for social inclusion and exclusion, gender and race under the spell of the Victorian ethos, national conservatism and imperialism.

    LONDON Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | London | 2019 0 For decades London has led the way in terms of innovation, fashion and retail trends. It is the focal location for new retailers seeking representation in the United Kingdom. London plays a key role on the regional, national and international stage. It is a top target destination for international retailers, and has attracted a greater number of international brands than any other city globally. Demand among international retailers remains strong with high profile deals by the likes of Microsoft, Samsung, Peloton, Gentle Monster and Free People. For those adopting a flagship store only strategy, London gives access to the UK market and is also seen as the springboard for store expansion to the rest of Europe. One of the trends to have emerged is the number of retailers upsizing flagship stores in London; these have included Adidas, Asics, Alexander McQueen, Hermès and Next. Another developing trend is the growing number of food markets. Openings planned include Eataly in City of London, Kerb in Seven Dials and Market Halls on Oxford Street.

    JOB DESCRIPTION JOB TITLE Store Manager ROLE TYPE Full time DEPARTMENT Retail REPORTING TO Head of Retail and Omnichannel Sales LOCATION London, multiple locations available SALARY Competitive COMPANY PROFILE Orlebar Brown launched in March 2007 as a more tailored approach to men’s beach and swim shorts. Based on the traditional pattern of a tailored pair of trousers for men, and with their distinctive side fasteners, they are not just a swim short; they are the original and best shorts you can swim in. In 2010 we took Orlebar Brown off the beach, out of the pool and into the resort with a range of tees, polos and shirts, and have since then developed the product into a full lifestyle offer including shorts, trousers, sweats, outerwear, knitwear, footwear and accessories. The brand has rapidly gained global recognition and is sold through multiple channels. Web is the largest channel, delivering to customers globally through www.orlebarbrown.com. The first Orlebar Brown store opened in London in 2011, and there are now seven stores in the UK and six stores in the US, alongside stores managed by franchisees in Australia, France, Dubai, Greece and Kuwait. The brand is sold in the world’s best Menswear retailers including Selfridges, Harrods, Mr Porter, Le Bon Marche, Saks 5th Avenue and Holt Renfrew amongst others, as well as through key trend and regional independent menswear stores. In 2018 Orlebar Brown was acquired by Chanel, with a plan to continue the brand’s growth and development internationally and across channels. We are looking for another strong team player to join us on our journey in establishing Orlebar Brown as the luxury choice lifestyle brand for holiday clothes to wear every day.
