Readers include some of Britain’s best-loved voices, including journalists David Dimbleby and Mishal Husain, as well as explorer Levison Wood and actor Samuel West. Hands Up is a young charity set up to help communities in Syria and on its borders survive the appalling conditions created by war. Started in 2014, it was inspired by two friends, both of whom lived in Syria before coming back to the UK as a result of the conflict. “We felt pretty miserable and hopeless “We asked people we knew who had basis that it’s a nice thing for people to be able having had to leave quite quickly.

  • South Kensington Property Hit by Fall in Foreign Interest
    South Kensington property hit by fall in foreign interest The Albert Memorial sits in front of the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington Gardens, London © Alamy On a brisk Thursday in March, academics from Imperial College in South Kensington took to the streets to protest against cuts to their pensions. The lecturers, professors and tutors stand to lose serious money: up to £10,000 a year — enough to buy an entire five square feet in some of the neighbouring buildings. South Kensington has long been one of the capital’s most affluent areas. Lavished with money and royal patronage during the Victorian era — the area’s northern stretch was named “Albertopolis” after the monarch’s husband — SW7 has since been taken up as the favoured postcode of affluent European families in more recent years. A gilded history it may have, but one that has failed to insulate South Kensington from the issues afflicting London’s prime markets. Now agents report that even French buyers, who have reliably sought homes close to South Kensington’s prestig- ious Lycée — so reliably, in fact, that South Kensington is sometimes called Paris’s 21st arrondissement — are looking elsewhere. “We are not seeing the flow of European money coming into London that we used to. South Kensington is an area which has been dominated by French and Italian buyers,” says Charlie Bubear, a director in Savills’ residential department. “Those taps were slightly switched off in 2014.” South Kensington map The flow was further stemmed by the UK’s decision to leave the EU in 2016. Since then, the election of Emmanuel Macron — a president less committed to high taxes than his predecessor — has given French buyers yet another reason to bypass South Kensington.
