  • Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Haworth Tompkins
    Conservation Management Plan For The National Theatre Final Draft December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Final Draft - December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Ltd 19-20 Great Sutton Street London EC1V 0DR Front Cover: Haworth Tompkins Ltd 2008 Theatre Square entrance, winter - HTL 2008 Foreword When, in December 2007, Time Out magazine celebrated the National Theatre as one of the seven wonders of London, a significant moment in the rising popularity of the building had occurred. Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.

    LETTER CONSERVING CANONBURY FOR 42 YEARS WS NEW RIVER 400TH AnnIVERSarY ISSUE NE SPRING 13 NEW RIVer CeleBrateS ITS 400TH Anniversary By DAVid Ireland AND JacK LAMBert The epitaph to Sir Hugh Myddelton reads “He brought fresh water to London”, and on Sunday 29 September 2013, the New River, the aqueduct he inspired, celebrates its 400th anniversary. The opening ceremony, on Michaelmas Day, 29 September 1613, involved a trio of (more or less) Myddeltons - Sir Hugh, his elder brother Thomas - elected that day Lord Mayor of London - and unconnected playwright Thomas Middleton. Man-on- the-spot Anthony Munday described a ceremony involving 60 of the workmen, “wearing greene Monmouth caps”, witnessing fresh water (from the Chadwell and Amwell springs near Hertford) flowing for the first time into the Round Pond in Islington, and all because “long have we laboured, long desir’d and pray’d, for this great work’s perfection”.
