Evaluation 19 Appendices 22 Appendix 1: Consultation Response Appendix 2: Local plans by market 4 Executive summary In 2018 Westminster City Council ran a public consultation on our markets over 12 weeks (6 August to 29 October). 838 responses were received from residents, traders, workers and business owners. Wider views were provided by 60 people who attended drop-in sessions. The results showed strong support for: the markets becoming more sustainable via reduced plastic use and increased recycling; greater community involvement; more seating; attracting young people, local residents and start-ups to trade at our markets; information and promotion online for all markets and a wider range of products being available. Market traders (73 responded) were also consulted separately on changes to fees and charges. The proposals were approved by Westminster City Council’s Licensing Committee on 28 November 2018 and the papers can be downloaded from the council’s website here. A STRATEGY FOR WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL’S MARKETS For this reason, the strategy does not discuss the agreed changes to fees and charges. Broadly, traders shared the same views as non- traders in terms of the areas we need to support for the future.
  • Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Pepys Greenwich Walk

    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

It has constantly evolved and London Dock represents another proud chapter in its long and illustrious history. This new development is set against a landscape of world famous destinations and landmarks, in one of the most exciting cities in the world. Designed for 21st century living, this is where your adventure begins. London Dock, discover more. 2 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 3 Computer generated image. Indicative only 4 LONDON DOCK DISCOVER MORE 5 A PLACE OF CHARACTER AND HISTORY 1 2 ALONGSIDE THE BANKS OF THE RIVER THAMES, COLOURED BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY, WAPPING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HUB OF COMMERCE AND LIFE. By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.
  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory

    The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory

    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt

    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt

    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).
