Ever since the Romans built a bridge across the River Thames and named the resulting settlement Londinium, it has continued to thrive, adapt and regenerate. Once a small outpost in the northern region of the Roman Empire, Greater London now includes 33 very distinct boroughs, each with its own individual character - and each presenting inspirational opportunities for those who choose to live in the world’s most vibrant capital city. The attraction of London as a place to live and work is driven by a wide array of factors, including its global leadership in financial services, professional services and technology; its many first class educational institutions; its arts, shopping, entertainment and night life; and of course its enviable variety of green and open spaces. London can offer more than its fair share of stately traditional and period housing. But it is also in the midst of tremendous change as multiple regions are redeveloped and brought up to date with properties suitable for 21st century living and a fast-growing population. Linked to ongoing improvements to the road and rail transport network, these property developments will bring still more advantages to the inhabitants of London in terms of connectivity to places of work, whether that’s in the City of London’s financial district, emerging fintech and technology hubs in the East End or business parks around London’s Heathrow Airport. In this, the fourth annual Borough by Borough report, we present an overview of each of London’s 33 boroughs from a housing market perspective. We look at a range of metrics that are of interest to those living, or thinking of living, in each borough and offer a brief overview of inspiring property developments taking place within each one.

  • Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: an Assessment of the 2012 London Games Legacies Simona Azzali*
    Azzali City Territ Archit (2017) 4:11 DOI 10.1186/s40410-017-0066-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: an assessment of the 2012 London Games Legacies Simona Azzali* Abstract The London 2012 Olympics were the frst Games with a legacy plan already in execution well before the beginning of the event. This study aims at evaluating the legacies of this Olympic edition, with particular regard to the new public open spaces created and their sustainability.

  • The Olympic Games and Civil Liberties
    Analysis A “clean city”: the Olympic Games and civil liberties Chris Jones Introduction In 2005, the UK won the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games. Seven years later, the Games are due to begin, but they are not without controversy. Sponsors of the Games – including McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Cadbury’s, BP and, perhaps most controversially, Dow Chemical [1] – were promised “what is chillingly called a ‘clean city’, handing them ownership of everything within camera distance of the games.” [2] In combination with measures put in place to deal with what have been described as the “four key risks” of terrorism, protest, organised crime and natural disasters, [3] these measures have led to a number of detrimental impacts upon civil liberties, dealt with here under the headings of freedom of expression; freedom of movement; freedom of assembly; and the right to protest. The Games will be hosted in locations across the country, but primarily in London, which is main the focus of this analysis. Laying the groundwork Following victory for the bid to host the Games, legislation – the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 – was passed “to make provision in connection with the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games that are take place in London in the year 2012.” [4] It is from here that limitations on freedom of expression have come, as well as some of the limitations on freedom of movement that stem from the introduction of “Games Lanes” to London’s road system. Policing and security remains the responsibility of the national and local authorities.

  • Prime Meridian (68) March 31, 2017
    Prime Meridian (68) March 31, 2017 As spring arrives in South East England, so does news of climate change from the poles. On March 7, Arctic sea ice reached its maximum annual spread, but this was the smallest on record. Meanwhile, around Antarctica, where autumn has now begun, sea ice shrank to its smallest recorded summer minimum on March 3, 2017. Daffodils bloom in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul, Ash, Kent. March 25, 2017. The Northern Hemisphere's floating ice cap continues to shrink. Polar sea ice expands during the cold, dark months. This process reverses with the onset of spring. The USA's National Snow and Ice Data Center has reported that the Arctic sea ice reached its greatest extent for the year on March 7, when it covered 14.42 million km2. This was the smallest maximum in the 38 years of the satellite record and reflects a long-term reduction of sea ice extent for any given season (subject to weather fluctuations from year to year). The situation in the Antarctic is more complex. The annual minimum for the year took place on March 3 (NASA/NOAA DSCOVR image below). The extent of sea ice was 2.11 million km2, the lowest in the satellite record. However, unlike the Arctic, where the trend towards lower sea ice extent is unmistakeable, the trend in the Antarctic has previously been upwards, thanks to wind, currents, weather and climate change. The volume of the sea ice has been more difficult to determine. Seasons in South East England February, 2016 Above: Bare branches of an oak against a blue sky.

This prediction was fulfilled before noon, when 20.5oC was recorded at Filton in Bristol. The Met Office had anticipated: “We could see highs of 21oC in the SE today”. A tweet from the Met Office at 12:20 GMT announced that "Charlwood has beaten Filton, recording 22.5 °C.” However, it was Gravesend along the Thames Estuary that set an all-time record of 23.6oC. High temperatures here were helped along by pollution from London, the urban heat island effect and wind directions. Meanwhile, temperatures exceeded 20oC at various locations in southern England and Wales. So far, every month except August has been warmer than normal, and there is a real possibility that 2014 will be the warmest year in the UK record. Of course, it would be poor science to seize upon local or regional weather extremes, cold or hot, as debating points for or against climate change; they must not be taken in isolation.

  • Local Government in London Had Always Been More Overtly Partisan Than in Other Parts of the Country but Now Things Became Much Worse
    Part 2 The evolution of London Local Government For more than two centuries the practicalities of making effective governance arrangements for London have challenged Government and Parliament because of both the scale of the metropolis and the distinctive character, history and interests of the communities that make up the capital city. From its origins in the middle ages, the City of London enjoyed effective local government arrangements based on the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London and the famous livery companies and guilds of London’s merchants. The essential problem was that these capable governance arrangements were limited to the boundaries of the City of London – the historic square mile. Outside the City, local government was based on the Justices of the Peace and local vestries, analogous to parish or church boundaries. While some of these vestries in what had become central London carried out extensive local authority functions, the framework was not capable of governing a large city facing huge transport, housing and social challenges. The City accounted for less than a sixth of the total population of London in 1801 and less than a twentieth in 1851. The Corporation of London was adamant that it neither wanted to widen its boundaries to include the growing communities created by London’s expansion nor allow itself to be subsumed into a London-wide local authority created by an Act of Parliament. This, in many respects, is the heart of London’s governance challenge. The metropolis is too big to be managed by one authority, and local communities are adamant that they want their own local government arrangements for their part of London.

  • Outer East London
    A Broad Rental Market Area is an area ‘within which a person could reasonably be expected to live having regard to facilities and services for the purposes of health, education, recreation, personal banking and shopping, taking account of the distance of travel, by public and private transport, to and from those facilities and services.’ A BRMA must contain ‘residential premises of a variety of types, including such premises held on a variety of tenures’, plus ‘sufficient privately rented residential premises, to ensure that, in the rent officer’s opinion, the LHA for the area is representative of the rents that a landlord might reasonably be expected to obtain in that area’. [Legislation - Rent Officers (Housing Benefit Functions) Amendment (No.2) Order 2008] OUTER EAST LONDON Broad Rental Market Area (BRMA) implemented on 1st October 2009 Map of the BRMA Overview of the BRMA The above map shows Stratford, Walthamstow, Leyton, West Ham, East Ham and their surroundings within a boundary marked in red. Predominantly residential, the BRMA measures approximately nine miles from north to south and about four miles from east to west. As Stratford will host the Olympic Games in 2012, investment is currently underway to bring commercial, employment and transport improvements to the area. Docklands is located further south and contains City Airport and the Excel Centre. Docklands is a business district of significance and of importance for the country as a whole. This BRMA is situated in Transport for London Zone 3. Public transport is plentiful with four underground lines connecting in all directions, supplemented by an overground rail system connecting Walthamstow to Stratford and then eastwards towards Leytonstone.

  • Opportunity and Intensification Areas – 2009 Compared with 2008 London Plan
    Opportunity and Intensification Areas – 2009 compared with 2008 London Plan Opportunity Areas – Policy Comparison The policies for the Opportunity and Intensification Areas are broadly similar for both the 2008 and 2009 London Plans. The differences are as follows: In the 2008 plan the areas are structured and broken down into the relevant sub-regional areas and form part of sub-regional policy, whereas in the updated plan there is a single table provided which covers all of the areas. The 2009 London Plan omits references to, “deliver good design, including public realm, open space and where appropriate, tall buildings.” In the 2008 Plan authorities should “seek to exceed” minimum housing targets for relevant sites whereas the 2009 Plan refers to “optimizing density” and “contributing to meeting the minimum guidelines”. This change of approach may account for some of the alterations in housing projections for some of the sites, both upwards and downwards.
