  • St Giles: a Renewed London Quarter Emerges
    St Giles: A Renewed London Quarter Emerges § £2 billion regeneration § 60,000 sq ft of dining space § 58% Tech & Media occupation 08 September, London, United Kingdom - The redevelopment of the iconic London landmark, Centre Point, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, plus the anticipated arrival of the Elizabeth line at Tottenham Court Road has triggered the rejuvenation of the area around the eastern end of Oxford Street and St Giles in the capital’s West End. The area is poised for great growth, driven by the imminent arrival (2018) of the Elizabeth line and the redevelopment of the station at Tottenham Court Road at the eastern end of Oxford Street, which will see more than 100m passengers pass through it each year – three times more than the current volume. This, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, residential development and high profile tech and media businesses – the ever-growing interest in the area has been supported by more than £2 billion of regeneration. A comprehensive report launching today – A renewed London quarter emerges – has been produced by leading property consultants, Colliers International, in partnership with New West End Company, The Fitzrovia Partnership and Midtown Business Improvement Districts. It charts the intense activity in the St Giles area and its transformation since 2008 from what was previously a little known area of London, into an exciting hub of commercial and private investment developments, including unique dining destinations, to become a vibrant location that puts St Giles firmly on the map.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.

    Bloomsbury in Dorset: Manufacturing Modernisms at Poole Pottery 1914-1939 James King Abstract This essay evaluates the pursuit by Poole Pottery (the firm was called Carter, Stabler and Adams during most of the time period discussed here) of a variety of modernist aesthetics from 1914 to 1939 and argues that Poole's incorporation of various types of modernist fine art into its wares owes a great deal to its association with the Omega Workshops in the 1910s. Poole's involvement from about 1914 to after 1916 with Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant may be well documented1, but this essay speculates that Poole's indebtedness to the Omega Workshops and its adherence to Post- Impressionism is more pervasive and longer lasting than previously argued. More specifically, it also argues, that in the instance of Poole's most celebrated designer, Truda Carter, the Bloomsbury influence was transformative: when she arrived at Poole, she refined the work of James Radley Young, who had worked directly with the Omega Workshops. His geometrically inspired designs did not ultimately suit her, and she achieved her own distinct look by incorporating high modernist and post-impressionist design in her wares. In using the term high modernist, I am referring to pottery that deliberately incorporates borrowings from cubism and vorticism as design elements; I use the term Post-Impressionist to refer to design elements that specifically utilize naturalist elements while at the same time exaggerating them to push them in the direction of abstraction. KEY WORDS: Truda Carter, modernism, Post-Impressionist design, Poole Pottery ‘A More or Less Experiment’ Poole stood apart from its competitors because of its location in Dorset, far removed from the Potteries in Staffordshire.
