Marylebone Low Emission Neighbourhood MARYLEBONE LOW EMISSION NEIGHBOURHOOD DECEMBER 2019 FOREWORD The Marylebone area of Westminster has long suffered the effects of poor air quality due to its busy central London location. The Marylebone Low Emission Neighbourhood (LEN) was established by Westminster City Council as a method to improve air quality through public realm and behaviour change interventions using a partnership approach, following a successful bid to the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund in 2016. The project was active between its submission in July 2016, and its completion in March 2019. The Marylebone LEN area has been used and the following pages shine a light on as a test-bed for pilot projects, many of the various projects spearheaded by the which are now being rolled out across partners over the course of the two-and- Westminster and even more widely across a-half year programme.

Due to limitations of the site identified in a full technical evaluation, it was not deemed feasible to install this feature on the site. Instead, the project engaged students in a design competition, taking the concept and the LEN objectives of greening to improve air quality and applying it to a design that would fit in to the Marylebone context.

Bound by Aybrook, Moxon, Cramer and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone Square is reintroducing a long-lost local street pattern to the area. MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life. As you find yourself “Marylebone Square idling around the shops on chic Chiltern Street, exchanging hellos with the butcher at the Ginger Pig or sunbathing in a quiet corner of Paddington Square is a collection Gardens, you quickly realise that this is a place where people actually live – of 54 high-end not just commute to, pass through, or visit for a few hours a day.

  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853
    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

    St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Headteacher: Mrs. K Husain Deputy Headteacher: Dr. N Fernandes Viana Jesus said: ‘I have come that they may have life and have it to the full’. Dear Parents, 2nd November 2018 Thank you to all the parents who attended the Funding Update meetings in school on Tuesday. The school has been one of the lowest funded primary schools in Westminster for several years. However, the recent funding changes because of the new National Funding Formula, the fall in primary age children in Westminster in recent years and the increased costs faced by all schools have fundamentally changed the financial position of the school. To maintain the current enriched curriculum and to provide the best education for the children that we can, we rely on your financial help and ask for. Your financial support currently takes two forms. Firstly, the fundraising of the School Association, this is still very strong: in 2017/18 they raised approximately £130,000. For this we are grateful, and long may it continue. Secondly, contributions to the Governors’ Fund. This has dropped by over 40% in recent years. Considering the recent funding changes and costs pressures we are asking all parents to consider donating monthly to the Governors’ fund or increase the amount they currently donate. Monthly contributions will provide Governors’ with a certainty to plan. We are looking to target annual contributions of £200,000 to the fund which is a £160,000 increase from the current level. I must stress that any contributions are voluntary, and all funds received are used for the benefit of all the children at the school.

  • Johnson 1 C. Johnson: Social Contract And
    C. Johnson: Social Contract and Energy in Pimlico ORIGINAL ARTICLE District heating as heterotopia: Tracing the social contract through domestic energy infrastructure in Pimlico, London Charlotte Johnson UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources, University College London, London, WC1H 0NN, UK Corresponding author: Charlotte Johnson; e-mail: [email protected] The Pimlico District Heating Undertaking (PDHU) was London’s first attempt at neighborhood heating. Built in the 1950s to supply landmark social housing project Churchill Gardens, the district heating system sent heat from nearby Battersea power station into the radiators of the housing estate. The network is a rare example in the United Kingdom, where, unlike other European states, district heating did not become widespread. Today the heating system supplies more than 3,000 homes in the London Borough of Westminster, having survived the closure of the power station and the privatization of the housing estate it supplies. Therefore, this article argues, the neighborhood can be understood as a heterotopia, a site of an alternative sociotechnical order. This concept is used to understand the layers of economic, political, and technological rationalities that have supported PDHU and to question how it has survived radical changes in housing and energy policy in the United Kingdom. This lens allows us to see the tension between the urban planning and engineering perspective, which celebrates this Johnson 1 system as a future-oriented “experiment,” and the reality of managing and using the system on the estate. The article analyzes this technology-enabled standard of living as a social contract between state and citizen, suggesting a way to analyze contemporary questions of district energy.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.

  • Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7
    Uncovering Kilburn’s History – Part 7 Thank you for joining me again for the final part of this Kilburn local history series. 1. New flats in Cambridge Road, opposite Granville Road Baths, c.1970. (Brent Archives online image 10127) In Part 6 we saw the major rebuilding that took place, particularly in South Kilburn, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Many of the workers on the building sites were Irish. The new wave of Irish immigration to Northwest London, which reached its peak in the 1950s, was quickly transforming the area. As well as abundant work, Kilburn offered plenty of cheap accommodation, and a bustling High Road with cultural and eating establishments, many of them catering for the Irish population, who soon represented a majority in the area. ‘County Kilburn’ was dubbed Ireland’s 33rd county. 2. Kilburn's Irish culture – an Irish Festival poster and Kilburn Gaels hurling team. (From the internet) The Irish community, close-knit and mutually supportive, hit the headlines in the negative way in the 1970s, when Kilburn became a focal point for “the Troubles” in London. On 8 June 1974, an estimated 3,000 came out onto the streets of Kilburn for the funeral procession of Provisional IRA member Michael Gaughan. An Irishman, who had lived in Kilburn, Gaughan was imprisoned for an armed bank robbery in 1971 and in 1974 died as the result a hunger strike. Gaughan’s coffin, accompanied by an IRA guard of honour, was taken from the Crown at Cricklewood through Kilburn to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Quex Road, before being flown to Dublin for another ceremony and funeral.
