  • Submission from the City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society
    Response of the City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society To Legal Services Board Consultation Paper “Internal Governance and Practising Fee Rules Supplementary Consultation on proposed rules to be made under sections 30 and 51 of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c.29)” The City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society (‘CWHLS’) The City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society („CWHLS‟) enjoys perhaps the most diverse membership amongst local Law Societies, encompassing as it does, a membership ranging from larger firms, including those which have been called in recent years "the silver circle" down to small high street practices and individual in-house solicitors, including those working for public bodies and government. Our membership includes those who practice at all levels of the profession, including those who regularly represent solicitors in SRA investigations and members of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, and those who have practised extensively in the field of solicitors‟ negligence and professional indemnity insurance. Membership is voluntary and CWHLS is run by a committee comprising 33 solicitors representing a very wide range of specialisms. Its work is carried out by 11 specialist sub- committees, one of which, the Professional Matters Sub-Committee, concentrates on matters such as regulation of solicitors, matters affecting their practice, etc. Response We are only proposing to respond on one section only of the Consultation Paper, namely Part C of the draft Practising Fee Rules: “The Permitted Purposes”. The Permitted Purposes As currently drafted these appear to be over-restrictive, with the result that there is real doubt as to whether the representative arm of Law Society would be permitted to perform some of its proper representative functions.

  • 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.

  • St John's Wood
    St John’s Wood Area Guide St John’s Wood lies within the City of Westminster in the North West London. Once part of the Great Middlesex Forest, the area was one of the first London suburbs to be developed from the early 19th century onwards, mainly with low density “villa” type housing. St. John’s Wood was once part of the Great Forest of Middlesex, its name derived from its mediaeval owners, the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. After the Reformation and the Dissolution of monastic orders, St John’s Wood became Crown land, and Henry VIII established Royal Hunting Grounds in what became known as Marylebone Park, to the north of which lay St John’s Wood. The area remained in agricultural use until the end of the eighteenth century, when plans for residential development first appeared. Building began in 1809 in Alpha Road, on the southern boundary of St John’s Wood. One of the first London suburbs to be developed, it was a unique pattern of development and mainly planned with a large amount of low density, semi-detached villas, abandoning the familiar terraced house. Although many of the original houses and gardens disappeared during the twentieth century, through bomb damage and the building of new roads, railways and schools, much of the original character of the area remains. In the 1960s, most of St John’s Wood was designated a Conservation Area and its houses listed by English Heritage. It remains a highly desirable residential location, and one of the most expensive areas of London.
