  • London View Management Framework SPG MP26
    26 Townscape View: St James’s Park to 219 Horse Guards Road 424 The St James’s Park area was originally a marshy water meadow, before being drained to provide a deer park for Henry VIII in the sixteenth century. The current form of the park owes much to Charles II, who ordained a new layout, incorporating The Mall, in the 1660s. The park was remodelled by John Nash in 1827-8 and his layout survives largely intact. St James’s Park is maintained to an extremely high standard and the bridge across the lake provides a frequently visited place from which to appreciate views through the Park. The landscape is subtly lit after dark. St James’s Park is included on English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest at Grade I. 425 There is one Viewing Location at St James’ Park 26A, which is situated on the east side of the bridge over the lake. 220 London View Management Framework Viewing Location 26A St James’s Park Bridge N.B for key to symbols refer to image 1 Panorama from Assessment Point 26A.1 St James’s Park Bridge – near the centre of the bridge 26 Townscape View: St James’s Park to Horse Guards Road 221 Description of the View 426 The Viewing Location is on the east side of the footbridge Landmarks include: across the lake.

  • The Old War Office Building
    MINISTRY OF DEFENCE The Old War Office Building A history The Old War Office Building …a building full of history Foreword by the Rt. Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Secretary of State for Defence The Old War Office Building has been a Whitehall landmark for nearly a century. No-one can fail to be impressed by its imposing Edwardian Baroque exterior and splendidly restored rooms and stairways. With the long-overdue modernisation of the MOD Main Building, Defence Ministers and other members of the Defence Council – the Department’s senior committee – have moved temporarily to the Old War Office. To mark the occasion I have asked for this short booklet, describing the history of the Old War Office Building, to be published. The booklet also includes a brief history of the site on which the building now stands, and of other historic MOD headquarters buildings in Central London. People know about the work that our Armed Forces do around the world as a force for good. Less well known is the work that we do to preserve our heritage and to look after the historic buildings that we occupy. I hope that this publication will help to raise awareness of that. The Old War Office Building has had a fascinating past, as you will see. People working within its walls played a key role in two World Wars and in the Cold War that followed. The building is full of history. Lawrence of Arabia once worked here. I am now occupying the office which Churchill, Lloyd-George and Profumo once had.

  • A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber
    A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber Miranda L. Elston One of the most distinguishable features of Henry VIII’s reign was the meticulous use of architecture and the interior to instatiate his supremacy as King of England. This research uses the king’s Privy Chamber, a private apartment in the royal apartments, at Whitehall Palace as the paradigmatic example to critically assess the Henrician interior in an interdisciplinary study. Through an examination of the primary accounts and records, inventories, archaeological studies and visual evidence from extant interiors and visual representations, this essay digitally reconstructs the Whitehall Privy Chamber to analyze its function. The creation of digital reconstructions of the Whitehall Privy Chamber reveals tangible evidence allowing us to understand the Henrician interior as a holistic space that simultaneously aligned Henry VIII with his historic ancestry and imagery of the virtuous Renaissance Prince.
