It was the largest Empire in history. If the Empire’s beating heart was London, then The Strand was one of its major arteries. This mile- long street beside the River Thames was home to some of the Empire’s administrative, legal and commercial functions. The days of Empire are long gone but its legacy remains in the landscape. A walk down this modern London street is a fascinating journey through Britain’s imperial history. This walk was created in 2012 by Mike Jackson and Gary Gray, both Fellows of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). It was originally part of a series that explored how our towns and cities have been shaped for many centuries by some of the 206 participating nations in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

This Report is based on a draft prepared by Conservation, Architecture & Planning. Development Planning Services, Department of Planning and City Development City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk Document ID No: 1130 PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents.

From the expansionist fever of the late nineteenth century to the redistribution of German territories immediately following the First World War, Canadians of varying backgrounds campaigned vigorously for Canada-West Indies union. Their efforts generated a transatlantic discourse that raised larger questions about Canada’s national trajectory, imperial organization, and the state of Britain’s Empire in the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the key ideas, tensions, and contradictions that shaped the union discourse over time. Race, nation and empire were central to this discourse.

Brexit continues to paralyse UK politics, Canada is gearing up for a Federal Election in the Autumn, global trade agreements (and conflict) ebb and flow, the Ukraine has elected a comedian as President. Amidst these ‘interesting times’ for globalism and populism, we have set a course for the Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce in 2019 where we remain focused on doing the things that we do well, while continuing to adapt to the unusual environment we are inhabiting. The Chamber marked its 97th anniversary in 2018 with the busiest networking programme in its history attracting over 3,500 registrations, and in 2019 our intention has been to deliver another diverse and engaging schedule of events, attractive to a broad membership base. And we’re delighted to see that so far this year, our approach to provide members and potential members at all levels with an exciting programme of networking and new business development opportunities, has been really productive.

Timeline and Key Dates 6. Budget 7. Legal Implications 8. Acceptance of Invitation 9. Appendix: Technical Details 10. Appendix: Trafalgar Square 3 Introduction The Mayor of London’s Fourth Plinth Commission is now one of the most highly regarded contemporary public art programmes in the world. The programme has achieved significant national and international attention for its commitment to commissioning the very best contemporary art in one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations – Trafalgar Square, London. Approximately 4,000 people an hour go past the square and thousands more spend time in it every day. Since 1999 a series of temporary artworks have been commissioned specifically for this prestigious location in the heart of London. The artworks have always been provocative and have presented challenging propositions for the role of contemporary art in the centre of our cities. Each artwork generates high levels of discussion, amongst art professionals and members of the public alike. Discussions are about the climate in which the works are being commissioned, the square in which they are located and the city they come to represent over the period of their exhibition. 4 Mark Wallinger Ecce Homo 1999 5 Background of the programme The Fourth Plinth, located in the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square, was designed by Sir Charles Barry and built in 1841 to display an equestrian statue. Due to insufficient funds the plinth was left empty and remained so until 1998 when The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) commissioned a series of three works to be temporarily displayed there.
