  • The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background the Royal Parks Are
    The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background The Royal Parks are managed for the enjoyment of the public, balancing the interests of our visitors, wildlife, the historic environment and conservation. As pedestrians comprise the majority of visitors and include potentially vulnerable groups, such as small children and the elderly, they have priority in the parkland and open spaces. TRP seeks, however, to cater for wide range of other recreational activities in a way that does not interfere with the safety, comfort and convenience of other park users. Skating is a popular activity that appeals to a wide range of people. TRP seeks to provide opportunities for skating in the Royal Parks for the enjoyment of skaters and without adverse impact on other park users and the park environment. This policy concerns skating on what is described in the Park Regulations as “foot- propelled devices” – including roller blades, roller skates, freeline skates, roller- skis, skateboards/waveboards and scooters. Regulations The Royal Parks Regulations state that visitors: • may skate on the roads, unless this is restricted by a park notice, and in any other area where permitted; • must not skate in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person; • must comply with any direction for the control of skating that is given either by a constable, or by notice; . must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a park Where you may skate in the Royal Parks Skaters may use park roads that are open to other vehicles, unless prohibited to do so.

Bound by Aybrook, Moxon, Cramer and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone Square is reintroducing a long-lost local street pattern to the area. MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life. As you find yourself “Marylebone Square idling around the shops on chic Chiltern Street, exchanging hellos with the butcher at the Ginger Pig or sunbathing in a quiet corner of Paddington Square is a collection Gardens, you quickly realise that this is a place where people actually live – of 54 high-end not just commute to, pass through, or visit for a few hours a day.

  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853
    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.

  • Little Venice and Maida Vale Neighbourhood Area Designation
    Neighbourhood Area Designation Notice Section 61G of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 9 Part 1 of the Localism Act (2011)) provides a local planning authority the power to designate an area as a neighbourhood area. Under The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 Part 2 Regulation 7 a local planning authority must publish on their website, and in such other manner as they consider is likely to bring the designation to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area; the name of the neighbourhood area a map which identifies the area; and the name of the relevant body who applied for the designation. Neighbourhood area application Name of proposed neighbourhood area Paddington and Maida Vale Name of applicant Paddington Waterways and Maida Vale Society Representation period 23rd July - 14th September 2012 Neighbourhood area designation Notice is hereby given that Westminster City Council, through a decision made on 28 March 2014 by its Cabinet Member for The Built Environment, has designated the Little Venice and Maida Vale Neighbourhood Area within the Westminster City Council boundary. The boundary of the area is shown edged red on the map below. Reasons for decision: The Cabinet Member has accepted the recommendation that the neighbourhood area as applied for does not represent a single neighbourhood area. The Paddington Basin area within the south of the proposed neighbourhood area is deemed to be a distinct and separate area from the Maida Vale area to the north, in terms of character and land use. These two areas are separated by the elevated section of the A4 Westway.
