  • Media Information New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’S Cross
    Media Information © 2011 New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’s Cross Project Description October 2011 To the north of King’s Cross and St Pancras International railway stations, 67-acres of derelict land are being transformed in what is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects. The result will be a vibrant mixed-use quarter, at the physical and creative heart of which will be the new University of the Arts London campus, home of Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. Stanton Williams’ design for the £200m new campus unites the college’s activities under one roof for the first time. It provides Central Saint Martins with a substantial new building, connected at its southern end to the Granary Building, a rugged survivor of the area’s industrial past. The result is a state-of-the-art facility that not only functions as a practical solution to the college’s needs but also aims to stimulate creativity, dialogue and student collaboration. A stage for transformation, a framework of flexible spaces that can be orchestrated and transformed over time by staff and students where new interactions and interventions, chance and experimentation can create that slip-steam between disciplines, enhancing the student experience. The coming together of all the schools of Central Saint Martins will open up that potential. The design aims to maximise the connections between departments within the building, with student and material movement being considered 3-dimensionally, as a flow diagram North to South, East to West, and up and down – similar in many ways to how the grain was distributed around the site using wagons and turntables.

  • Travel Tips United Kingdom
    Travel Tips United Kingdom City Guide London London is the largest city in the United Kingdom and a leader in global finance, fashion, commerce and education. It has a population of 8.17 million people and is located in south-eastern part of Great Britain and lies along the banks of the River Thames. London dates back 2 millennia to Roman times when it was a northern outpost of the Roman Empire. Airports London has two major international airports, and the city is easily reached from both of them. Heathrow (LHR) Heathrow located 15 miles west of London and there are a wide variety of transportation options to bring you to the city center. The Underground is the cheapest option with a one way ticket costing at most £6 (US$9.5). It takes close to an hour to reach most destinations within central London. The Heathrow Express train is the fastest option and will bring you to Paddington station in between 15 and 20 min. It costs £34 (US$53) for a return ticket. If your destination is not in the Paddington area, the Underground may end up taking less time overall. Various bus companies operate to and from London, and prices usually average about £12 (US$19) for a return ticket. There are several coaches that operate to outlying areas such as Oxford if London is not your final destination. There is a taxi queue in front of the arrivals gate, and private “Mini-Cabs” can be ordered ahead of time. It usually costs between £50-100 (US$75-$155).

  • Shops Aug 2012
    1 SHOPS Shops Among London’s main attractions are the long streets full of shops, some of which are famous throughout the world. All of those listed here were visited during 2011. Our survey teams found that access to shops has improved considerably in recent years. In particular there are fewer split levels, more accessible toilets, and more BCF. However, few have textphone details on their website and there are still a small number with unexpected split levels. Importantly, attitudes have changed, and staff members are more often understanding of special needs than was the case ten years ago. In this chapter we have concentrated mainly on the Oxford Street/Regent Street area, as well as including famous shops like Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Peter Jones and Fortnum and Mason. We have also included a few shops on Kensington High Street, and around Victoria. We have only visited and described a tiny percentage of London’s shops, so please do not be limited by listings in this section. Nearly all the big shops we have described have accessible toilets. Access is generally good, although the majority of the big stores have central escalators. The lifts are less obvious and may even be slightly difficult to find. Signage is highly variable. Most big department stores have a store guide/listing near the main entrance, or at the bottom of escalators, but these do not normally take account of access issues. A few have printed plans of the layout of each floor (which may be downloadable from their website), but these aren’t always very clear or accurate.

  • Valuation Report
    VALUATION REPORT Westfield Stratford City London On behalf of Stratford City Shopping Centre (No. 1) Limited Partnership Valuation Date: 28 May 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 VALUATION REPORT 3 PROPERTY REPORT 4 APPENDICES 5 LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary WESTFIELD STRATFORD CITY The Property • Prime shopping centre completed in 2011 within a major regeneration area of East London. • Anchored by John Lewis and M&S, supplemented by a wide range of fashion multiples and complemented by an extensive leisure and dining offer which includes a casino, cinema and gym. • Westfield Stratford is the largest urban shopping and leisure destination in Europe. Tenancies and Covenant Strength The Property offers an expected income weighted unexpired term of approximately 12 years 6 months (6 years 8 months to nearest break); this is considered good and is representative of a prime shopping centre. Within our valuation and calculation of the weighted average unexpired lease term, we have reflected planned asset management initiatives including four proposed lease surrenders and new lettings. In addition, a small number of leases contain rolling break options where such leases could be determined at any time; we have forecast when such leases will be determined. There is only a small percentage of income expiring within the next two years, most of which relates to short term leases, principally on The Street. Over 40% of the passing rent expires within 5 years, on account of the number of break clauses falling within this timescale. We consider the prospects for re-letting are good, given the strong trading performance of brands inside the centre and the low level of vacancy.
