  • Records of Gardening, Parks and Open Spaces in LMA
    RESEARCH GUIDE 56 - Records of gardening, parks and open spaces in LMA CONTENTS Introduction Private Gardens Public Gardens Institutional gardens Amateur Gardens Council records Prints, maps and photographs Finding aids Records Inherited records Introduction London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) holds a variety of records relating to gardening and horticulture in the Greater London area. Foremost amongst these are the records of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, one of the City Livery Companies. There is a reference to an organisation of gardeners as early as 1345. By the time of the granting of the Company's first charter in 1605, it was fully in control of its trade. By the mid 19th century the Company was in abeyance, but it revived in the 1890s. It received its grant of arms in 1905. In recent years, the Company has been notable for running a number of campaigns and competitions in the City of London. It also continues the tradition of providing bouquets and flowers for members of the Royal family and for Royal occasions. The archives held at LMA date from 1605, but early membership records are patchy, and court minutes do not begin until the second half of the 18th century. The archive is not large, but it is notable for a series of scrapbooks recording the history of the company since 1345, begun by the company in 1934 and continuing to the present day. The company's collection of printed books is deposited at Guildhall Library, Aldermanbury, London EC2V 7HH. Private Gardens Among the early records of horticulture are seventeenth-century probate inventories of gardeners in Westminster and Middlesex in the records of the church courts.

The review provides a measure of success against the original ambitions of the programme and the lessons that have been learnt that will inform the future programme. Recommendation(s) Members are asked to: Note the report. Main Report Background 1. The charity arm of the Open Spaces Department received three year tapering funding from City Bridge Trust (CBT) in 2016 to deliver a new centrally co-ordinated outdoor Learning Programme: ‘Green Spaces, Learning Places’, focused on delivering to urban and deprived communities close to our open spaces. 2. This approach was centred around five impact areas; understanding, confidence, involvement, wellbeing, and connection. Using this approach, the learning team designed learning projects and services that deliver impact in our local communities. 3. The programme was predominantly delivered at Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest (including Wanstead Flats) and West Ham Park.

  • Valuation Report
    VALUATION REPORT Westfield Stratford City London On behalf of Stratford City Shopping Centre (No. 1) Limited Partnership Valuation Date: 28 May 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 VALUATION REPORT 3 PROPERTY REPORT 4 APPENDICES 5 LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary WESTFIELD STRATFORD CITY The Property • Prime shopping centre completed in 2011 within a major regeneration area of East London. • Anchored by John Lewis and M&S, supplemented by a wide range of fashion multiples and complemented by an extensive leisure and dining offer which includes a casino, cinema and gym. • Westfield Stratford is the largest urban shopping and leisure destination in Europe. Tenancies and Covenant Strength The Property offers an expected income weighted unexpired term of approximately 12 years 6 months (6 years 8 months to nearest break); this is considered good and is representative of a prime shopping centre. Within our valuation and calculation of the weighted average unexpired lease term, we have reflected planned asset management initiatives including four proposed lease surrenders and new lettings. In addition, a small number of leases contain rolling break options where such leases could be determined at any time; we have forecast when such leases will be determined. There is only a small percentage of income expiring within the next two years, most of which relates to short term leases, principally on The Street. Over 40% of the passing rent expires within 5 years, on account of the number of break clauses falling within this timescale. We consider the prospects for re-letting are good, given the strong trading performance of brands inside the centre and the low level of vacancy.
