    Press Release

    BRITISH MILITARY FITNESS AT THE CAVENDISH HOTEL The Cavendish Hotel is offering its guests the most effective, unique and environmentally friendly workout possible. The hotel has teamed up with British Military Fitness (BMF) to give visitors access to complimentary fitness sessions to help them keep fit in the great outdoors. The hotel, which has a keen emphasis on reducing its impact on the environment and was awarded “Considerate Hotel of the Year 2007”, is offering its guests an alternative workout to the normal hotel gym. Residents of the hotel are invited to attend these rigorous BMF sessions with the hotel’s compliments. The BMF classes are run by serving or ex-armed forces physical training instructors with recognised fitness training qualifications. They offer motivational and challenging workouts to encourage attendees to get fit in a fun and interactive environment. The classes take place in the beautiful parks of London and are a great opportunity to take in the scenery London has to offer. Making use of the great outdoors and using no equipment, apart from what nature provides, means these workouts are the lowest carbon footprint form of exercise you can do. The classes are designed to suit guests of all fitness and the groups are divided into three levels; beginners, intermediates and advanced, so whatever the level of ability there is something for every hotel guest. Hyde Park is the local BMF venue to The Cavendish and offers sessions everyday except Tuesday at several times in the morning and the evening. Other classes take place in Clapham Common, Hampstead Heath, Richmond Park, Wimbledon Common, Battersea Park and Wandsworth Common and guests of the hotel will be able to attend any session in London.

    Putney Heath, Proposed LIGS London Borough of Wandsworth, TQ 231 732 (Best Exposure) Ownership: Local Authority

    Guide to London’s Geological Sites GLA 25: Putney Heath, Proposed LIGS London Borough of Wandsworth, TQ 231 732 (best exposure) Ownership: Local Authority. Open access. Putney Heath Putney Heath has been selected as a site of local importance for its exposures of Black Park Gravel. The area cited is a plateau on the top of the wider parkland area which becomes Wimbledon Common to the south. This plateau also extends into adjacent Richmond Park to the east, separated by the valley cut by the Beverley Brook which flows north into the Thames. Black Park Gravel The Black Park Gravel is the oldest of the Thames Terraces, deposited immediately after the retreat of the Anglian Ice Sheet about 400,000 years ago (Oxygen Isotope Stage 12-11). On Putney Heath the height of the top of the exposure is 53 m which falls within the range of Black Park Gravel recorded from elsewhere (eg Hornchurch Railway Cutting SSSI, GLA19, and Mark’s Warren Quarry Complex,GLA 37, in East London) (see BGS Special Memoir, p. 61-64 and reference 1 below). At Hornchurch it overlies the glacial till abandoned by the retreating ice sheet of the biggest of the Ice Age glaciations, the Anglian, the only one to extend to London, although it never reached as far south as Putney. The graveI contains a larger proportion of exotic fragments than the later gravels as a direct consequence of its proximity to the icesheet that carried clasts from all over the country. As in the other Thames gravels by far the greatest proportion of the pebbles are flints.

    Parks, People and Nature

    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

    Wimbledon Common

    Wimbledon Common Food, Firepower and Fun. Aerial view of Caesar's Camp, Wimbledon Common. Little is known about Wimbledon’s origins but one of the earliest signs of human activity in the area is a fortified settlement known as ‘Caesar’s Camp’ situated on high ground on the south western edge of the Common. Probably built in about the third century BC, and with no known connection to Julius Caesar, the earthworks of this ancient hill fort originally covered a circular area of about 12 acres surrounded by a ditch about thirty feet wide and twelve feet deep. The camp has never been fully excavated but pottery found there suggests that it may even go back to the sixth century BC. It was unlikely to have been a permanent settlement and may have been used as a refuge from attack. Caesar’s Well, Wimbledon Common, c.1850 Wimbledon Common is an extensive plateau of floodplain gravel overlying a bed of London Clay. It is about three miles long and around a hundred feet above sea level. In the distant past its light gravel soil was not much use for farming but was ideal as pasture for animals and as a source of wood. It has a number of natural springs, the best known of which is Caesar’s Well, named because of its proximity to the hill fort. The water rises from a depth of around five meters. The well was enclosed in 1872 with twelve stone slabs. Manor House, Wimbledon. c.1630 The first firm evidence of a permanent settlement in Wimbledon dates back to the thirteenth century when the Archbishop of Canterbury was Lord of the Manor.

They were determined to have a polo club accessible from central London as the sport had become so popular. So in 1901 Charles was sent to find suitable ground that would still be close to the city. With Lord Shrewsbury elected as its Chairman and the Duke of Teck invited to be President, the Club was formed in the same year. Within a few years the Club flourished and became known for its ‘influential clientele’ especially throughout the Edwardian period – HRH Duke of York, Sir Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, Admiral Lord Jellicoe were all Members. It continued to have a thriving social scene right up until the First World War. This was largely fostered by Charles’ wife Grace, an extremely elegant and superb organiser, who came to play an important role as the Club’s social scene manager. She was even known to run an eye over other Members as they entered, to make sure they were properly
