Here you find little shops that have been in business since well before the war, flower stalls that have been around since the 1940s, backstreet pubs that host sing-a-longs around the piano and a myriad of other charming glimpses of a London that has changed little over the past century. At the same time, Marylebone houses trendy boutiques and some fine restaurants making the place particularly alluring. The emphasis remains on providing for the community of people who live here and its orderly rows of town houses and garden squares make this one of the most appealing areas in London. © Collins Bartholomew Ltd., 2013 Nearest Stations Great Portland Street (0.1M) Regent's Park (0.1M) Warren Street (0.3M) Bloomsbury | 26 Museum Street, London, WC1A 1JU | Tel: 020 7291 0650 | [email protected] 2 Council Tax Bands Council Band A Band B Band C Band D Band E Band F Band G Band H Westminster £ 474 £ 553 £ 632 £ 711 £ 868 £ 1,026 £ 1,184 £ 1,421 Average £ 934 £ 1,060 £ 1,246 £ 1,401 £ 1,713 £ 2,024 £ 2,335 £ 2,803 Disclaimer Every care has been taken with the preparation of these Particulars but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

  • The 1866 Women's Suffrage Petition Name List: Frequently Asked Questions
    The 1866 Women's Suffrage Petition Name List: Frequently Asked Questions What is the 1866 petition? The 1866 women's suffrage petition was the first mass petition for Votes for Women presented to Parliament by John Stuart Mill MP on 7 June 1866. See: www.parliament.uk/1866 What happened to the original petition? The original document with the actual signatures presented to the House of Commons was not preserved. This was routine for petitions in this period. So where has this list of names come from? The petition organisers printed and circulated a list of signatories as a pamphlet back in 1866. Only two copies of this rare document are known to have survived. One is at Girton College Cambridge, and another is in private hands. This transcript has been created from the one in private hands. Many thanks to Elizabeth Crawford for facilitating this. How many names are there? Approximately 1500. Why approximately? There are 1499 names listed on the pamphlet. However the House of Commons Select Committee on Public Petitions counted 1521 on the petition, indicating there may have been 22 late additions. There is no way of knowing who these extra 22 may have been. How do I look for a name? The names are (almost all) listed in alphabetical order so you can browse, and also this is a searchable PDF, use CTRL-F on your keyboard or similar to search. I've found my ancestor on the list! Fantastic! Do let us know via [email protected] I've got additional information for your list! Thank you very much, do let us know via [email protected] .

  • Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 24 Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street The sense of backwater permeating the district between Great Portland Street and Cleveland Street is strongest north of New Cavendish Street. This area, a rough triangle truncated at the north end where it meets Euston Road, is the subject of this chapter. There are two major excisions: existing buildings in the northern part of Great Titchfield Street are dealt together with the rest of the street in Chapter 23, while the north side of New Cavendish Street east of Great Portland Street is covered in Chapter 25, except for the University of Westminster buildings, which are described in Chapter 32. The buildings hereabouts are thoroughly mixed in scale, genre and social level, and also in age, the few remnants of the original Georgian development being mainly confined to Cleveland Street, where they include a terrace of the 1790s at Nos 139–151. They range from workshops to offices, hotels and educational establishments; among housing types are examples of the artisan flats which replaced terrace houses in this sector of the Portland– Howard de Walden estate after 1890, some hostels or halls of residence, notably in Bolsover Street; and the remarkable Holcroft Court of 1968–71, south-east Marylebone’s sole public housing estate. Holcroft Court takes up a complete street block, as do some other of its neighbours of similar date, notably the Holiday Inn facing Carburton Street, and Collingwood House between New Cavendish Street and Clipstone Street (page ###). Lacking any firm topographical identity, streets in this district were formerly associated for the purposes of address typically with Portland Road or Great Portland Street; or else with Fitzroy Square, beyond the Marylebone Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT boundary along Cleveland Street in St Pancras.

  • LOCAL VIEW Hyde Park | Marylebone Fitzrovia & Bloomsbury | Mayfair & St James’S
    LOCAL VIEW Hyde Park | Marylebone Fitzrovia & Bloomsbury | Mayfair & St James’s Spring/Summer 2013 Welcome to the Spring/Summer Edition of Local View 2013 In the following pages, we provide an insight into the unique London property market and showcase a selection of the most impressive London properties currently for sale and to rent with Knight Frank. The prime London property market continues to outperform, despite continued economic uncertainty. The clarity provided by December’s draft finance bill around the taxing of £2m+ properties owned through companies, resulted in a surge in activity in the early part of the year after months of uncertainty in the wake of the March 2012 budget. Activity levels are robust across all price bands in the market, and prices are still increasing, with levels already more than 20% higher than the previous peak in prices back in March 2008. However, it is interesting to note that growth at different price levels is moving at slightly different speeds. Since stamp duty for £2m+ purchases was raised from 5% to 7% in March last year, prices for properties under this threshold are advancing more quickly than those above the threshold. The exception is for properties worth £5m+, where prices are also climbing more steadily. London retains its reputation as a leading global hub and international demand remains a key factor driving price growth. Overseas buyers continue to view London property as a safe haven to invest in. Over the past 12 months, Knight Frank has expanded its global network, both in London and overseas, attracting more buyers and tenants from around the world.
