Finsbury Park (Metropolitano de Londres)

Finsbury Park é uma estação de intercâmbio intermodal no Norte de Londres. Serve o Metropolitano de Londres, a National Rail e serviços de ônibus. A estação é a terceira estação de metrô mais movimentada fora da Zona 1, com mais de 33 milhões de passageiros usando a estação em 2019. Serviços atuais e futuros da National Rail A estação da National Rail acima do solo, que tem uma bilheteria separada para a estação de metrô, é gerenciada e servida pela Great Northern. Trens de Moorgate e King's Cross formam serviços suburbanos internos para Stevenage via Hertford North e Welwyn Garden City e serviços suburbanos externos partem de Kings Cross em direção a Peterborough e Cambridge. O serviço suburbano interno anteriormente não atendia à filial de Moorgate à noite e nos fins de semana, sendo desviado para London Kings Cross. Atualmente, existem seis plataformas, mas apenas cinco faixas, pois as plataformas 6 e 7 compartilham uma faixa (embora a plataforma 6 não seja mais numerada ou utilizada separadamente). As plataformas foram renumeradas em 19 de maio de 2013 para se preparar para duas novas plataformas, com todos os números existentes aumentados em 2. Normalmente, a plataforma 1 é usada por serviços suburbanos no sentido sul para Moorgate, a plataforma 2 por serviços regionais no sentido sul para King's Cross e serviços Thameslink no sentido sul, a plataforma 7 (e ocasionalmente também plataforma 5) por serviços regionais norte de King's Cross e norte Thameslink Services, e plataforma 8 por serviços suburbanos norte de Moorgate. Metrô de Londres A estação é servida pelas linhas Piccadilly e Victoria. Embora considerada uma estação de metrô de 'nível profundo', Finsbury Park não tem escadas rolantes, pois suas linhas estão a menos de 6 m abaixo do nível da rua. O acesso às plataformas das linhas Piccadilly e Victoria era anteriormente apenas por escada, alcançada por duas passagens estreitas que impediam a instalação de barreiras de passagem. Como parte da atualização da estação na década de 2010, barreiras de passagem foram instaladas nas entradas leste e oeste da estação, bem como o fornecimento de acesso sem degraus em toda a estação.

Elvaston Castle

Elvaston Castle er et stateligt hjem i Elvaston, Derbyshire, England. Herregården er opført i nygotik og sammen med den omkringliggende park er den ejet af Derbyshire County Council under navnet Elvaston Castle Country Park. Parken består af 0,81 km2 skov, park og anlagt formel have. Selve Elvaston Castle er en listed building af anden grad. Den blev opført i perioden 1815–1829, og blev siden ombygget i 1836. Siden er den gået i forfald og står i dag som en ruin. Den er ikke åben for offentligheden grundet bygningens stand, og siden 2008 har den været på listen over Buildings at Risk Register. Derbyshire County Council estimerer at bygningen kræver en stor investering til både restaurering og på længere sigt vedligehold. I 2017 blev The Elvaston Castle and Gardens Trust etableret.

Мост Элвет

Мост Элвет — средневековый каменный мост через реку Уир в английском городе Дарем. Соединяет центр города и Даремский замок с районом Элвет, в настоящее время мост шириной около 5 метров используется как пешеходный. Арочный мост на дороге на Стоктон-он-Тис был заложен в 1160 году даремским епископом Гуго де Пюизе, ставшим инициатором строительства множества каменных сооружений по всему северо-востоку Англии. По-видимому, это был второй мост через Уир в Дареме, поскольку его называли тогда Новым мостом, однако где находился «старый мост» доподлинно неизвестно. Мост возводился долго, точная дата окончания строительства в документах не сохранилась, но известно, что ещё в 1228 году люди получали индульгенции в связи со вкладом, вносимым в строительство Нового моста. Вероятно, в те годы Уир был значительно шире — сейчас река протекает лишь под четырьмя из десяти арочных пролётов моста. Предполагается, что ранее существовали ещё четыре пролёта, но ныне они погребены под культурным слоем. При этом из сохранившихся арок только одна относится к XII веку, остальные построены уже в XIII-ом. В средние века на мосту Элвет стояло множество зданий. С обеих сторон его охраняли башни с воротами и часовни. На западном берегу стояла церковь поменьше, посвящённая Святому Иакову, — в 1632 году из неё сделали тюрьму, а в XVIII веке она была разобрана. Церковь Святого Андрея на восточном берегу частично сохранилась до наших дней. Во время Великого наводнения 1771 года река Уир смыла три центральных пролёта вместе с домами на них, пришлось возводить их заново. Сейчас постройки остались лишь на «сухих» пролётах восточной стороны моста, со стороны Элвета. Литература Jervoise, Edwyn.

St Mary le Strand

St Mary le Strand ist eine von James Gibbs von 1714 bis 1723 errichtete barocke Gemeindekirche der Church of England in der Londoner Innenstadt. Bis 2024, als diese Zone verkehrsberuhigt wurde, stand die Kirche auf einer Verkehrsinsel mitten auf der parallel zur Themse verlaufenden verkehrsreichen Straße Strand. Geschichte Ein hochmittelalterlicher Bau wurde 1549 abgerissen, weil er dem Duke of Somerset bei der Errichtung seines Stadtpalastes im Wege war. Zu einem etwas weiter nördlich gelegenen Neubau kam es erst, nachdem 1711 das Parlament im „Act of the 50 New Churches“ eine Kommission zum Bau von fünfzig neuen Kirchen eingesetzt hatte, die für Kirchenneubauten in der rapide wachsenden Stadt sorgen sollte. Mit dem ersten so geförderten Neubau wurde James Gibbs betraut. Der schottische Architekt war 1708 aus Rom zurückgekommen, wo er bei Carlo Fontana studiert hatte. 1713 konnte er als Mitglied der genannten Kommission seinen ersten eigenständigen Neubau realisieren. Noch während der Bauzeit entwarf er auch die Pläne für seinen anderen wichtigen Sakralbau, St Martin-in-the-Fields am Trafalgar Square. Architektur Gemessen an anderen zeitgenössischen Saalkirchen Londons ist dieser Bau kräftig modelliert: Der Apsis im Osten entspricht auf der gegenüberliegenden Eingangsseite eine offene Vorhalle mit halbrunder Säulenstellung nach römischen Vorbildern (Cortona: Santa Maria della Pace). Die zweigeschossige Außengliederung entspricht hochbarocken Profanbauten. Die leichte Wölbung der Decke im Inneren ist mit einer reich in Weiß und Gold gehaltenen Reliefdekoration versehen. Der von Gibbs ursprünglich nicht in dieser Höhe vorgesehene Turm erinnert an entsprechende Bauteile von Christopher Wren. Literatur Heinfried Wischermann: London.

St Mary-le-Strand

La chiesa di St Mary-le-Strand è una chiesa anglicana di Londra dedicata alla Madonna e situata sopra un'aiuola spartitraffico del trafficato Strand, da cui prende il nome. Storia La prima chiesa di St Mary fu costruita più a sud nel 1222 col nome di Chiesa degli Innocenti e fu abbattuta nel 1549 da Edward Seymour, duca di Somerset. Nonostante la promessa di costruire un nuovo edificio, i lavori non iniziarono mai e i parrocchiani si dovettero spostare nella vicina chiesa di St Clement Danes. St Mary le Strand fu la prima delle dodici chiese ad essere realizzata dalla Commissione per la costruzione di Cinquanta Nuove Chiese. i lavori di costruzione iniziarono nel febbraio del 1714 sotto la direzione di James Gibbs. Questo progetto fu per l'architetto inglese il primo lavoro importante dopo il suo soggiorno in Italia. I lavori erano già conclusi nel 1717, tuttavia il nuovo tempio fu consacrato solamente il 1º gennaio 1724 dal vescovo di Londra Edmund Gibson. Il suo territorio fu una parrocchia civile della Libertà di Savoia e del territorio della città di Westminster fino al 1855, quando fu inclusa nel distretto dello Strand. Descrizione Esterno All'esterno la chiesa si presenta come un edificio compatto con due piani di finestre lungo i fianchi ed un'abside in fondo alla navata. La facciata, in stile barocco, è preceduta da un piccolo protiro semicircolare sorretto da colonne ioniche. Sopra di esso si trovano prima una grande finestra arcuata che dà luce all'interno, poi la torre campanaria cuspidata con un grande orologio sul davanti. Interno All'interno la chiesa è a navata unica illuminata dalle monofore delle pareti laterali e dal finestrone della controfacciata. Lo spazio interno, decorato in uno stravagante barocco molto ricco (per via del quale Gibbs fu molto criticato), è coperto da una fastosa volta a botte con orecchioni sorretta da colonne corinzie e decorata con stucchi bianchi e dorati, dalla quale pendono alcuni lampadari ottocenteschi in ottone. L'abside semicircolare, che è posta in fondo alla navata, è illuminata da tre grandi monofore con vetrate policrome ed è coperta anch'essa da una volta decorata sfarzosamente da stucchi nei colori bianco e oro. Al centro dell'abside si trova l'altare ligneo. Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su St Mary-le-Strand Collegamenti esterni (EN) Sito ufficiale, su stmarylestrand.com.

Emanuel School

Emanuel School is a private, co-educational day school in Battersea, south-west London. The school was founded in 1594 by Anne Sackville, Lady Dacre and Queen Elizabeth I and today occupies a 12-acre (4.9 ha) site close to Clapham Junction railway station. The school is part of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and at the start of the 2022-23 academic year had 1081 pupils between the ages of ten and eighteen, paying fees of £7,687 per term. It teaches the GCSE and A-Level syllabuses. History Emanuel School is one of five schools administered by the United Westminster Schools' Foundation. It came into being by the will of Anne, Lady Dacre, dated 1594. She was the daughter of Sir Richard Sackville by his wife Winifred, a daughter of Sir John Bruges (otherwise Brydges), Lord Mayor of London in 1520-21. Her brother was Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset. She married Gregory Fiennes of Herstmonceaux and Chelsea, tenth Baron Dacre, in November 1558. He died on 25 September 1594 and she followed him the next year. Dacre wrote that one of the main aims of the foundation should be "for the bringing up of children in virtue and good and laudable arts so that they might better live in time to come by their honest labour." With Dacre's benefaction in 1594, Emanuel Hospital (almshouses and school), as it was first called, began. The children wore long brown tunics, rather similar in cut to those still worn by pupils at Christ's Hospital. Thanks to the interest of Queen Elizabeth I, cousin to Dacre, a charter was drawn up, and the school and almshouses were established on a site at Tothill Fields, Westminster. Mention is made of the hospital and similar foundations in an undated letter written by Daniel Defoe, entitled A Scheme for a Royal Palace in the Place of White-Hall. In 1883, the school moved to the present buildings on the edge of Wandsworth Common. These had been established originally in the late 1850s as Royal Victoria Patriotic School for Boys, for children orphaned during the Crimean War; the building was designed by Henry Saxon Snell. A sister building some 300 metres (980 ft) south, and now known as the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building, housed the Royal Victoria Patriotic School for Girls. Clapham Junction rail crash On 12 December 1988, pupils and teachers were first on the scene of the Clapham Junction rail crash, which happened adjacent to the school. They were later commended for their service by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and the pupils received an "Outstanding Endeavour" award from the BBC Television children's programme, Blue Peter. The school was used as a casualty centre. Sport The school has a rowing club called the Emanuel School Boat Club.

Embassy Court

Embassy Court är ett modernistiskt tolv våningar högt bostadshus i Brighton invigt 1936. Byggnaden var ett av de första modernistisk byggnadsverken i Storbritannien och ritades av arkitekt Wells Coates 1934. Byggnaden ligger vid strandpromenaden nära den gamla stadsgränsen mellan Brighton och Hove. Huset är i dag kulturminnesmärkt. Byggnaden Byggnaden är en tidig modernistisk betongbyggnad i hög grad präglad av Coates idéer om det moderna livet. Han ansåg att det moderna livet skulle vara rörligt, och han byggde in hyllor och skåp i lägenheten. Allting som människorna verkligen behövde, porslin, sängkläder, kläder, böcker och musik, var saker som kunde l transporteras från bostad till bostad. I sin egen lägenhet hade Coates kuddar på golvet istället för soffor. Stor vikt lades vid insidan, rummen skulle vara ljusa och sammanbundna, för att skapa en känsla av öppenhet. Byggnaden har en strömlinjeformad fasad med fönsterband och längsgående balkonger. Renoveringen Under efterkrigstiden minskade byggnadens popularitet och renoveringar under 1960-talet förändrade byggnadens utseende. Förfallet ökade från 1980-talet och framåt då ägarbyte skedde vid ett antal tillfällen utan att någon av de nya ägarna som ordnade med det eftersatta underhållet. Den förfallna byggnaden renoverades dock till sin forna glans 2006, då den återfick sitt ursprungliga utseende. Byggnaden är idag Grade:II*-listat, vilket innebär att den har den nästa högsta skyddsklassen en brittisk byggnad kan få. Arkitekten Wells Coates (1895-1958) var en i Japan född kanadensisk arkitekt, huvudsakligen verksam i England. Han skapade under 1930-talet flera uppmärksammade modernistiska byggnader, bland annat Isokon Building från 1934 som hyresgästen Agatha Christie jämförde med en oceanångare på grund av den klara och strikta arkitekturen.

Israelische Botschaft in London

Die Israelische Botschaft in London ist der Hauptsitz der diplomatischen Vertretung von Israel im Vereinigten Königreich. Sie befindet sich im Londoner Stadtteil Kensington an der Kensington Palace Gardens. Geschichte Das rote Backsteingebäude, in dem sich die Botschaft befindet, ist das 1860–1862 erbaute Haus des Schriftstellers William Makepeace Thackeray. Das Haus ist in der Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest eingetragen. Der Hauptkonferenzsaal ist nach Schlomo Argov benannt, der von 1979 bis 1982 Botschafter war und Opfer eines Anschlages wurde. Im Saal befindet sich eine Flagge des zionistischen Vordenkers Sir Moses Montefiore, die 1980 von dessen Familie an die Botschaft übergeben wurde. Terroranschläge Im Jahre 1972 wurde die israelische Botschaft in London das erste Mal Opfer eines Terroranschlags mit Folgen: Acht Briefbomben wurden am 19. September zur Botschaft gesendet, wohl von der Terrororganisation Schwarzer September, die nur einige Tage zuvor das Münchner Olympia-Attentat auf israelische Sportler verübt hatte. Zwar wurden sieben davon rechtzeitig abgefangen, doch die eine übrige tötete den israelischen Diplomaten Ami Sachori. Knapp zehn Jahre später, am 3. Juni 1982, wurde der amtierende Botschafter Schlomo Argov durch einen Kopfschuss schwer verletzt. Der Attentäter – einer von drei – war Hussein Ghassan Said, ein Mitglied der Abu-Nidal-Organisation. Schlomo Argov überlebte den Kopfschuss zwar, war jedoch danach 21 Jahre lang pflegebedürftig und erlag 2003 den Folgen der Verwundung. Am 26. Juli 1994 – einen Tag nach dem Friedensschluss zwischen Israel und Jordanien – explodierte ein Auto mit 10 bis 15 kg Sprengstoff vor der Botschaft. Das Gebäude erlitt einige Schäden und viele Fenster in der Nachbarschaft wurden eingeschlagen, unter anderem im Kensington Palace. Die schwerste Verletzung war allerdings nur ein Armbruch. Mit dem Anschlag werden der Hisbollah nahestehende iranische Extremisten in Verbindung gebracht. Weblinks Internetauftritt der Botschaft Einzelnachweise
Embassy of Japan, London

The Embassy of Japan in London is the diplomatic mission of Japan in the United Kingdom. The embassy occupies a large Victorian building on Piccadilly opposite Green Park, which is Grade II listed. It was formerly the Junior Constitutional Club, which was the first building in London to have its exterior entirely clad in marble. From 1913 to 1937 the Japanese Embassy was located at 10 Grosvenor Square. Role The embassy performs a vital role in relations between the UK and Japan and deals with political, economic, and cultural interaction between the two. It offers visa services to British and other nationals in the UK and provides consular services for the 66,000+ Japanese citizens currently living in the UK. Those who reside in Scotland and some areas of northern and northeast England fall under the jurisdiction of the Consulate-General of Japan in Edinburgh rather than the embassy, and visa applications cannot be made at the consulate-general by those living within the jurisdiction of the embassy. The embassy houses the Public Relations and Cultural Centre Library, which was established for the purpose of promoting Japan in the UK. The library houses approximately 3,800 books on Japanese-British history and Japanese culture; it also stocks Japanese newspapers, DVDs, and music. Books can be borrowed from the library.
