Arts Theatre

L'Arts Theatre è un teatro situato nella Città di Westminster, nel West End londinese. Storia Il teatro aprì il 20 aprile 1927 come un club privato, bypassando così le leggi sulla censura che impedivano ad opere teatrale di andare in scena senza il permesso dell'ufficio del Lord Ciambellano. La programmazione del teatro consisteva di drammi sperimentali che non avevano mercato nel più commerciale West End. Nel 1955 il ventiquattrenne Peter Hall diresse proprio all'Arts Theatre la prima in lingua inglese di Aspettando Godot di Samuel Beckett. La pièce ebbe un'enorme influenza sulla scena teatrale britanniche e Hall fu nominato direttore artistico del teatro, una posizione che occupò dal 1956 al 1959. A partire dagli anni 2000 il teatro si è aperto a una programmazione più in linea con quella del West End, con opere teatrali e musical come Another Country, Closer to Heaven e I monologhi della vagina. Nel 2019 il teatro ha ospitato la prima londinese del musical Six.

Holland House

Holland House, construida en 1605 para sir Walter Cope y originalmente conocida como Castillo de Cope, fue una de las primeras casas construidas en Kensington, Londres, Inglaterra. Los 2 km² de terreno se extienden desde la avenida Holland Park hasta la actual estación de metro de Earl's Court. Su yerno, Henry Rich, primer conde de Holland, heredó la casa. El conde fue decapitado por ser fiel a la corona durante la guerra civil inglesa y desde entonces la casa se usó como sede del ejército y fue frecuentada por Oliver Cromwell. Tras la guerra, pasó a ser propiedad de varios miembros de la familia, se renombró con el nombre de Holland House y pasó a la familia Edward en 1721. Henry Fox, primer barón de Holland murió en Holland House en 1774 y tras él la casa fue heredada por sus descendientes hasta que se eliminó el título con la muerte de Henry Edward Fox, 4.º barón de Holland en 1859; sin embargo, su viuda continuó viviendo allí durante muchos años, vendiendo poco a poco terrenos. En 1874, la casa pasó a un primo lejano de Fox, el conde de Ilchester. En la época del tercer lord Holland la casa se convirtió en un famoso centro político, social y literario, con muchos visitantes ilustres como lord Byron, Thomas Macaulay, Benjamin Disraeli, Charles Dickens y Sir Walter Scott. La figura del político y escritor John Allen estuvo muy asociada a la casa, y hay una habitación en la misma que lleva su nombre en su honor.​ Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, la reina Madre, y el rey Jorge VI de Inglaterra asistieron al último gran baile celebrado en la casa pocas semanas antes del estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En septiembre de 1940, el edificio fue duramente golpeado por un bombardeo que duró diez horas, y en su mayor parte quedó destruido. Pasó, junto con todos los terrenos, a ser propiedad de la autoridad local. Referencias

Stephen Joseph Theatre

The Stephen Joseph Theatre is a theatre in the round in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England that was founded by Stephen Joseph and was the first theatre in the round in Britain. In 1955, Joseph established a tiny theatre in the round on the first floor of Scarborough Library. The theatre flourished and in 1976 moved to a supposedly temporary home on the ground floor of the former Scarborough Boys' High School. However, a permanent home proved difficult to find and it was not until late 1988 and the closure of the local Odeon cinema by Rank Leisure that the theatre's long-standing Artistic Director, Alan Ayckbourn, found a suitable venue. Ayckbourn launched a £4 million appeal to transform the old cinema with a view to opening it up in 1995. The new theatre, known simply as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, opened in 1996 and comprises two auditoria: The Round, a 404-seat theatre in the round, and The McCarthy, a 165-seat end-on stage/cinema. The building also contains a restaurant, shop, and full front-of-house and backstage facilities. The Round boasts two important technical innovations: the stage lift, facilitating speedy set changes, and the trampoline, a Canadian invention which allows technicians particularly easy access to the lighting grid. It is also the place where the image used for the cover of Richard Hawley's album Coles Corner was taken.

Sweetings

Sweetings is a restaurant at 39 Queen Victoria Street in the City of London that specialises in traditional British seafood. It has been based at its present location since 1889. It is only open on weekday lunchtimes, and does not take reservations. History Sweetings's first incarnation was as John S. Sweetings, Fish and Oyster Merchant in Lad Lane, Islington, in 1830. The Lad Lane shop continued to supply fish and game to hotels and restaurants The restaurant later occupied sites at 159 Cheapside and 17 Milk Street, advertised as "Very Superior Oyster Rooms". Fodor's wrote that "little seems to have changed at this time warp since the height of the British Empire". The French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec patronised Sweetings in the 19th century. Sweetings has been owned by Richard Barfoot since 2001 who bought it from the widow of Graham Needham. Needham had owned it since 1980. Barfoot also supplies Sweeting's sustainably sourced seafood. According to Barfoot, Needham told him that the gangster George Francis once offered him £1m from a suitcase for Sweetings but Needham said, "I don't want to know and if you are going to trouble me like that you can get out now". Sweetings is located in the Grade II listed Albert Buildings at 39–53 Queen Victoria Street, built in 1871. Reviews Condé Nast Traveler described Sweetings as: "A seafood institution in the City...You won't find the most sophisticated cooking here, but the fish is very fresh and the pleasure is in feeling that you have stumbled on a slice of history. The waiters and waitresses are trapped behind wooden counters and serve only the eight or so customers in front of them. There is an etiquette about when you can talk to them but, after countless visits, I can't work it out." Chef Fergus Henderson proposed to his wife, Margot, at Sweetings and wrote that their Black Velvet (Guinness and champagne cocktail) "puts you in the mood for romance". The black velvet was also praised by designer Phillipe Starck who felt that upon drinking it from a tankard "you are really in England".

Stock Exchange Tower

Der Stock Exchange Tower ist ein hohes Gebäude in London. Es steht in der City of London, an der Ecke Old Broad Street / Threadneedle Street. Das 100 Meter hohe Gebäude mit 26 Stockwerken wurde 1970 erbaut und 1972 durch Königin Elisabeth II. eröffnet, woraufhin die London Stock Exchange hier einzog. Am 20. Juli 1990 explodierte in der Herrentoilette hinter der Besuchergalerie eine Bombe der IRA. Das Stockwerk war schon zuvor geräumt worden, so dass niemand verletzt wurde. Der anhaltende Trend hin zum elektronischen Handel hatte den Exchange Tower zunehmend in eine Touristenattraktion verwandelt. Obwohl die Besuchergalerie wiedereröffnet wurde, kam 1992 die endgültige Schließung. Die Londoner Börse zog im Juli 2004 an den Paternoster Square um. Das Gebäude wird umfassend renoviert, wobei unter anderem die Fassade mit Glas und Stahl komplett neu eingekleidet wird.

Stock Exchange Tower

125 Old Broad Street, formerly known as the Stock Exchange Tower and still often referred to as such, is a high-rise office building in London, located on Old Broad Street in the City of London financial district. For over 30 years the Stock Exchange Tower was the home of the London Stock Exchange, until the exchange's relocation to Paternoster Square in 2004. History Standing at 100 metres (328 ft) tall with 26 floors, the Stock Exchange Tower was completed by Trollope & Colls in 1970. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 8 November 1972. It served as the headquarters, offices and trading floor for the London Stock Exchange, until the exchange departed for new premises in nearby Paternoster Square in July 2004. Face-to-face trading was conducted on the trading floor of the exchange, until it was abolished in favour of electronic trading in the October 1986 deregulation of the London Stock Exchange known as the 'Big Bang'. On 20 July 1990, the Provisional IRA exploded a bomb inside the tower, causing its evacuation. The bomb destroyed the public viewing areas in the building, which subsequently closed in 1992. It was also evacuated on 11 September 2001, after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Renovation The building underwent a major renovation which saw its pre-cast concrete façade reclad in a glass curtain wall, and thousands of square metres of additional office space created, including a new 10-storey building at No. 60 Threadneedle Street, a six-storey wing to the east, and a single-storey wing to the northwest. As part of the renovation, the floor plates were extended beyond the perimeter of the original building to give more overall space. The renovation scheme was designed by Grimshaw Architects. The building has 11 passenger lifts and one goods lift, as well as firefighting lifts and vehicle shuttle lifts.

125 Old Broad Street

125 Old Broad Street, anteriormente conhecido como Stock Exchange Tower e ainda frequentemente referido como tal, é um edifício de escritórios de grande altura em Londres, localizado na Old Broad Street no distrito financeiro da Cidade de Londres, Inglaterra. Por mais de 30 anos, a Stock Exchange Tower foi a sede da Bolsa de Valores de Londres, até a mudança da bolsa para Paternoster Square em 2004. História Com 30 metros de altura e 26 andares, a Stock Exchange Tower foi concluída por Trollope & Colls em 1970. Foi oficialmente inaugurada pela Rainha Elizabeth II em 8 de novembro de 1972. Serviu como sede, escritórios e pregão para a Bolsa de Valores de Londres, até que a bolsa partiu para novas instalações na vizinha Paternoster Square em julho de 2004. A negociação presencial era realizada no pregão da bolsa, até ser abolida em favor da negociação eletrônica na desregulamentação da Bolsa de Valores de Londres de outubro de 1986, conhecida como 'Big Bang'. Em 20 de julho de 1990, o IRA Provisório detonou uma bomba dentro da torre, causando sua evacuação. A bomba destruiu as áreas de visitação pública no edifício, que subsequentemente fecharam em 1992. Também foi evacuado em 11 de setembro de 2001, após os ataques terroristas ao World Trade Center na cidade de Nova York. Renovação O edifício passou por uma grande renovação que viu sua fachada de concreto pré-moldado ser revestida com uma parede cortina de vidro, e milhares de metros quadrados de espaço adicional para escritórios criados, incluindo um novo edifício de 10 andares no nº 60 de Threadneedle Street, uma ala de seis andares a leste e uma ala de um andar a noroeste. Como parte da renovação, as lajes foram estendidas além do perímetro do edifício original para dar mais espaço total. O projeto de renovação foi desenhado pela Grimshaw Architects. O edifício possui 11 elevadores de passageiros e um elevador de carga, além de elevadores de combate a incêndio e elevadores de transporte de veículos. Galeria Referências
