  • Urban Geology in Chelsea: a Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 33 Urban Geology in Chelsea: A Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall Situated in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Sloane Square SW1, and several of the neighbouring streets are named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) who lived in the area in the mid 18th Century. The area is now owned by the Cadogan Estate Ltd. The Cadogan family inherited this from Sloane via his daughter, Elizabeth and it is still the hands of the 8th Earl Cadogan. The eldest sons of this family inherit the title Viscount Chelsea and this area is one of the top pieces of real estate in the country, earning the family over £5 billion per year. It is correspondingly a pleasant area to stroll around, the home to designer shops, the Saatchi Gallery as well as a theatre and concert venue. Development took place between the mid 19th Century and the present day and displays a range of stones fairly typical of London Building during this period – along with a few surprises. Fountain, Sloane Square, with Peter Jones Department Store behind. This walk starts at Sloane Square Underground Station on Holbein Place, and takes in the Square itself, the southern end of Sloane Street, Duke of York Square and the eastern end of the King’s Road. It is easy to return to Sloane Square station when finished, or you could visit the Saatchi Gallery which displays a collection of contemporary art to suit all tastes (and none). For the buildings described below, architectural information below is derived from Pevsner’s guide to North West London (Cherry & Pevsner, 1991), unless otherwise cited.

  • Responsible Investment
    RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT VOTING AND ENGAGEMENT QUARTER 4, 2020 RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT AT QUILTER CHEVIOT INTRODUCTION This is our quarter four 2020 report outlining Quilter Cheviot’s engagement and voting activity with the companies we invest in. Our client base is a mix of private client portfolios, small pension funds, trusts and charities; as a result we have a long tail of small holdings which represent legacy and cherished positions. It would be impractical to vote on all our equity and investment trust positions and therefore we have chosen to focus on our largest and most widely held positions where we can have the most influence. Given the nature of our predominantly UK client base, these are UK-listed equities and investment trusts. From the beginning of 2020 we expanded the voting universe to include companies listed in the UK where we own more than 0.2% or £2 million on behalf of discretionary clients. This means that our voting universe has more than doubled. Where clients wish to vote their holdings in a specific way we do so on a reasonable endeavours basis; this applies whether the investment is in the core universe or not, and also to overseas holdings. We ensured that six clients were able to instruct their votes over the last quarter. We use the ISS proxy voting service in order to inform our decision making, however we will not automatically implement its recommendations. When we meet a company to discuss governance issues the research analyst does so alongside the responsible investment team as we are committed to ensuring that responsible investment operates within our investment process rather than apart from it.

In doing so, it has attempted to draw on a range of evidence and insights, to help those involved with recovery at any level in the work they are doing. It brings together evidence about: ñ The characteristics of the communities prior to the fire. ñ Evidence from the impact of other disasters both from the UK and internationally to learn from the experience of elsewhere. ñ Analysis of data on the impact of Grenfell one year one to try and understand both the nature and scale of the impact. ñ The voice of people in the community on what matters most to those who have been affected and what is important in recovery to them. Report authors and contributors Jason Strelitz, Chris Lawrence, Clare Lyons-Amos, Tammy Macey Acknowledgements We would like to thank all the residents and those working across North Kensington who have contributed to this report in many ways, and in particular to Natasha Elcock and Bilal Elguenuni from Grenfell United for sharing their insights and reflections. We would also like to thank many colleagues in Kensington and Chelsea Council, West London Clinical Commissioning Group and Central and North West London (CNWL) NHS Foundation Trust who have helped developed this report.
