Embassy of Thailand, London

The Royal Thai Embassy in London (Thai: สถานเอกอัครราชทูตไทย ณ กรุงลอนดอน) is the diplomatic mission of Thailand in the United Kingdom, located at Queen's Gate. The embassy is also accredited to Ireland on a non-resident basis. The building is one of a group of Grade II listed buildings in Queen's Gate, which includes the High Commission of Bangladesh next door. Thailand also maintains an Office of the Air Attaché at 2 Victoria Road, South Kensington, an Office of Commercial Attaché at 11 Hertford Street, Mayfair and an Office of Educational Attaché at 28 Prince's Gate, South Kensington. The Ambassador's Residence is located in a separate building on Tregunter Road, Brompton. Within the embassy's authority, Thailand also operates honorary consulates in Cardiff, Gibraltar, and Hull. History It has been located at its current address since 1965. Prior to that it was located at 21-23 Ashburn Place, its home since 1884. In 1962, the embassy cooperated with former British ambassadors to Thailand, and British and Thai businessmen to form the Anglo-Thai Society headed by Prince Chula Chakrabongse. The embassy continues to have a close relationship with the Society. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom and Ireland, many Thai nationals were looking for ways to return to Thailand. On 30 July 2020, the embassy announced that online registration for special flights back to Thailand would open to Thai nationals in the UK and Ireland. However, the registration page crashed a few hours after opening on 31 July as a result of high user traffic. As a result, 60 Thais in the UK filed a petition to the Thai government and House of Representatives to increase flights between the UK and Thailand.

Embassy of Spain, London

The Embassy of Spain in London is the diplomatic mission of Spain in the United Kingdom. Formerly known as Downshire House, the embassy is located at 24 Belgrave Square in the Belgravia area of London. Spain also maintains a Consulate General at 20 Draycott Place in Chelsea, a Defence Office at 3 Hans Crescent in Knightsbridge, an Education, Employment & Social Affairs Office at 20 Peel Street in Holland Park, and an Economic & Commercial Section at 66 Chiltern Street in Marylebone. The embassy is situated in a detached, stucco house designed by Henry E. Kendall and built between 1840 and 1850 on Belgrave Square in Belgravia. The building is Grade I listed for its architectural merit. History In the reign of Elizabeth I, the Bishops of Ely let their palace and chapel in Ely Place to the Spanish Ambassador and, until the reign of Charles I, it was occupied by the High Representative of the Court of Spain. During this period, the chapel (now St Etheldreda's Church) was freely used by English Roman Catholics. After the restoration of Charles II, the Spanish Embassy was re-established in London, first on Ormond Street and then at Hertford House on Manchester Square, where the Wallace Collection is now housed. Here, in 1793–96, shortly after the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791 repealed some of the laws affecting Catholic worship, a chapel, St James's, Spanish Place, was built to designs by Joseph Bonomi on the corner of Spanish Place and Charles Street (now George Street), Westminster, largely through the efforts of Thomas Hussey, chaplain at the embassy. In 1827, the official Spanish connection with the chapel ceased. Current location (Downshire House) Downshire House's first tenant was the MP Thomas Read Kemp, who financed the construction, which was part of a redevelopment of the Belgravia area in the early 19th century. From 1898, Downshire House was rented by Lord Pirrie, the director of Harland & Wolff, a prominent Belfast shipbuilding company. During a meeting in the house with White Star Line managing director J. Bruce Ismay in 1907, the first plans for the Olympic-class ocean liners are said to have been conceived. In the dining room there is a table which was built for Titanic but remained in the house. Pirrie died in 1924 and the building became the Spanish Embassy four years later in 1928. A refurbishment was then carried out and adjacent premises were acquired for administrative offices.

Embassy of Greece (London)

Die Embassy of Greece (griechisch Πρεσβεία της Ελλάδας, „Presvia tis Elladas“, dt. „Botschaft von Griechenland“) in London ist die diplomatische Vertretung der Hellenischen Republik im Vereinigten Königreich. Eine griechische Botschaft in London wurde bereits kurz nach der Griechischen Unabhängigkeit 1828 errichtet. Ab 1921 war die Botschaft in dem Gebäude 51 Upper Brook Street in Mayfair untergebracht. Eine Blue Plaque am Gebäude erinnert an den Dichter Giorgos Seferis, der dort von 1957 bis 1961 als griechischer Botschafter diente. 1975 zog die Botschaft an ihre derzeitige Adresse in Holland Park, wobei das Gebäude in Mayfair weiterhin als Residenz des griechischen Botschafters dient. 1999 besetzten kurdische Demonstranten zeitweise die Botschaft um gegen die Rolle Griechenlands bei der Gefangennahme Abdullah Öcalans, des Anführers der Arbeiterpartei Kurdistans (PKK), in Kenia zu protestieren. Griechenland unterhält auch ein Büro der National Tourism Organisation in der 4 Great Portland Street, W1W 8QJ, sowie ein Consulate General of Greece in Manchester (37-43 King Street, M2 7AT). 2025 ist Yannis Tsaousis der Botschafter in Großbritannien.

The Embassy of Greece in London is the diplomatic mission of Greece in the United Kingdom. A Greek embassy in London was established shortly after Greek independence in 1828. From 1921, it was located at 51 Upper Brook Street in Mayfair. A blue plaque there commemorates the poet George Seferis, who served as the Greek Ambassador from 1957 to 1961. In 1975, the embassy moved to its current location in Holland Park, with the Mayfair building remaining as the Greek Ambassador's Residence. In 1999, Kurdish protesters temporarily occupied the embassy in protest at the role of Greece in the capture of Kurdistan Workers' Party leader Abdullah Öcalan in Kenya.

Veleposlanstvo Grčke u Londonu

Veleposlanstvo Grčke u Londonu predstavlja diplomatsko predstavništvo Helenske Republike u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Grčka je svoje veleposlanstvo u londonskoj četvrti Mayfair otvorila 1828. godine, ubrzo nakon stjecanja neovisnosti od Otomanskog Carstva. Nakon gotovo 150 godina, Grci svoje veleposlanstvo 1975. sele na današnju adresu dok je zgrada u Mayfairu postala rezidencija grčkog veleposlanika. Zemlja ondje ima i turistički ured. Godine 1999., kurdski prosvjednici su privremeno okupirali prilaz veleposlanstvu u znak prosvjeda zbog grčke uloge u zarobljavanju Abdullaha Öcalana, lidera Kurdske radničke partije. Naime, grčka obavještajna služba Ethniki Ypiresia Pliroforion (EYP) je provela rizičnu operaciju kojom je Öcalana odlučila prevesti iz Grčke u grčko veleposlanstvo u Keniji gdje bi se privremeno skrivao. U konačnici, sve je završilo debaklom, tj. uhićenjem kurdskog vođe u zračnoj luci Nairobi i njegovim prebacivanjem turskim pravosudnim vlastima. S druge strane, Grčka je stvorila napete odnose s Turskom i SAD-om te pokazala neučinkovitost nacionalne obavještajne službe. Trenutačni grčki veleposlanik u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu je Konstantinos Bikas. Izvori Vanjske poveznice Službena web stranica veleposlanstva
Embassy of Ireland, London

The Embassy of Ireland in London is the diplomatic mission of Ireland in the United Kingdom. Ireland also maintains a Passport and Visa Office at 114A Cromwell Road, South Kensington. Building The embassy is located in 17 Grosvenor Place, a Grade II listed building. Built in 1868, this terraced town mansion is owned by the Duke of Westminster and was designed by British architect Thomas Cundy III. The building is designed in the eclectic "French Renaissance" style. In exchange for the construction of the building, the Duke of Westminster leased the building to Robert John Waller for a period of 90 years until 1957. Waller leased the building to Arthur Wilson, who lived in the building until his death in 1909. Upon Waller's death, the lease was passed to Ernest Guinness, a member of the Guinness family. Guinness surrendered the lease to the Duke of Westminster in 1948, who in turn leased the building to the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland.

Stanley Park (Liverpool)

Der Stanley Park ist ein 45 Hektar großer Park in der englischen Stadt Liverpool. Mit Joseph Hubback eröffnete der damalige Bürgermeister von Liverpool am 14. Mai 1870 die von Edward Kemp entworfene Grünanlage. Aufgrund seiner besonderen Anordnung und architektonischen Struktur gilt er als der bedeutsamste Park in der Stadt. Besonders zu beachten innerhalb der Wohnanlagen ist das 1899 erbaute und mittlerweile denkmalgeschützte Gladstone Conservatory. Zwischen 50 und 60 % der Fläche des Stanley Parks bestehen aus offenen Rasenflächen, die sich vor allem für diverse sportliche Aktivitäten und zur freizeitlichen Erholung nutzen lassen. Dazu kommen speziell entworfene Gartenanlagen und Seelandschaften. Die von Kemp ursprünglich erbaute Pferderennbahn „Rotten Row“ wurde bereits um 1907 herum aufgrund von fehlender Akzeptanz in Radwege umgebaut. Wie auch der Stanley Cup und der gleichnamige Stanley Park in Vancouver ist die Parkanlage nach Frederick Arthur Stanley benannt. Die Liverpooler Stadt führt seit November 2007 weitgehende Renovierungsarbeiten durch, deren Fertigstellung für 2009 vorgesehen sind. Der Stanley Park ist bekannt dafür, dass er sich zwischen den beiden Stadien der rivalisierten Fußballvereine FC Everton und FC Liverpool befindet. Besonders umstritten ist die jüngste Entscheidung des FC Liverpool zur Konstruktion des neuen Stanley Park Stadiums, für das 2003 die Baugenehmigung erteilt worden war und das bis August 2012 gebaut werden soll. Nach dem Eigentümerwechsel 2010 ist allerdings unklar, ob das Bauvorhaben tatsächlich umgesetzt werden soll. Nachdem man bereits mehr als 50 Millionen Euro für die Planung des neuen Stadions investiert hatte, gab der FC Liverpool am 15. Oktober 2012 bekannt, dass die Pläne verworfen wurden und die Anfield Road einen neuen Rang bekommt. Die Kapazität des Stadions steigt damit von aktuell 45.276 auf dann 60.000 Plätze.

Stanley Park, Liverpool

Stanley Park is a 110 acres (45 ha) park in Liverpool, England, designed by Edward Kemp, which was opened on 14 May 1870 by the Mayor of Liverpool, Joseph Hubback. It is significant among Liverpool's parks on account of its layout and architecture. It has a grand terrace with expansive bedding schemes that were once highlighted by fountains. It includes the 1899 Gladstone Conservatory (recently restored and renamed the Isla Gladstone Conservatory), a Grade II listed building built by Mackenzie & Moncur of Edinburgh. 50–60% of the land consisted of open turfed areas, suitable for sport, with most of the rest being laid out as formal gardens and lakes. Kemp designed a horse-riding track ('Rotten Row'), though it did not catch on and was restyled as a cycle track around 1907. Stanley Park is known for dividing the home grounds of rival Merseyside football clubs Everton and Liverpool. However it was also the original home to a fledgling Everton Football Club in 1879 before the club moved to nearby Priory Road and then Anfield Road. Part of Stanley Park was to have been incorporated into the area of Liverpool's proposed new stadium, plans for which were first announced in 2000, ironically the same location Everton F.C. played, but a change of ownership of the club during autumn 2010 resulted in the Stanley Park project being scrapped in October 2012, in favour of expanding Anfield. The park has an Evangelical church located on the corner in between the two football teams. It is named "Stanley Park Church" and is over 100 years old. The park is named after Lord Stanley of Preston. Stanley Park in literature and film Stanley Park featured in Alexei Sayle's short story The Last Woman Killed in the War. As a film location it partly played a backdrop in Sayle's 1980s BBC documentary for the series Comic Roots. It featured in the 2003 film Dad's Dead.

Stanley Park (Liverpool)

El Stanley Park es un parque de 45 hectáreas (aproximadamente 111.19 acres) ubicado en la ciudad de Liverpool, Inglaterra (Reino Unido). Fue diseñado por Edward Kemp y se inauguró el 14 de mayo de 1870 por el alcalde de Liverpool, José Hubback. Es un parque muy representativo de Liverpool, debido a su diseño y arquitectura. Cuenta con un conservatorio botánico, el 1899 Gladstone Conservatory (recientemente restaurado y renombrado como Isla Gladstone Conservatory). Originalmente, entre un 50 y un 60% del terreno consistiría en tener áreas cubiertas de césped, adecuado para el deporte, mientras que el resto se distribuiría entre jardines y lagos. Kemp había diseñado una pista de equitación («Rotten Row»), aunque no tuvo éxito, y fue remodelado como uns bicisenda alrededor de 1907. El parque cuenta con una Iglesia Evangélica, llamada Iglesia de Stanley Park y tiene más de 100 años de edad. Stanley Park es conocido por separar los dos clubes de la ciudad: el Everton Football Club y el Liverpool Football Club, que juntos disputan el Derbi de Merseyside. Inclusive, en el parque el Everton disputó algunos partidos antes de pasar a jugar en Anfield Road. Un sector de Stanley Park iba a ser utilizado para la construcción del Stanley Park Stadium, el nuevo estadio del Liverpool, con la misma ubicación donde había jugado el Everton, aunque luego el proyecto fue abandonado en 2012.​ Al igual que el Stanley Park de Vancouver en Canadá, el parque lleva el nombre de Lord Stanley de Preston.

Stanley Park (Liverpool)

Stanley Park is een 45 hectare groot park in Liverpool, Engeland. Het park is ontworpen door Edward Kemp. Hij was tevens degene die het park in 1870 opende. Het park wordt door sommigen beschouwd als het meest betekenisvolle park van Liverpool. Dit vanwege de lay-out en de architecturale betekenis van het park. Het park kenmerkt zich door een groot terras met dure overnachtingsplaatsen. Bovendien is Stanley Park beroemd vanwege het feit dat het park het enige stuk grond is wat de rivaliserende clubs Liverpool FC en Everton FC van elkaar scheidt. Het park heeft een kerk die op de hoek wordt gevestigd precies tussen de twee voetbalteams in. De kerk wordt "Stanley Park Church" genoemd en is meer dan 100 jaar oud. Liverpool FC heeft het plan gemaakt om het nieuwe stadion in Stanley Park neer te zetten. Externe links (en) Stanley Park Stadium Beschrijving en enkele afbeeldingen. (en) Luchtfoto
Stanley Park

Stanley Park – park o powierzchni 110 akrów (45 ha) w Liverpoolu w Anglii, zaprojektowany przez Edwarda Kempa, który został otwarty 14 maja 1870 r. przez burmistrza Liverpoolu, Josepha Hubbacka. Jest znaczący wśród parków Liverpoolu ze względu na swój układ i architekturę. Jest zabytkiem klasy II*. Posiada wspaniały taras z rozległymi schematami rabat, które kiedyś były ozdobione fontannami. Obejmuje on Gladstone Conservatory z 1899 r. (niedawno odrestaurowane i przemianowane na Isla Gladstone Conservatory), budynek wpisany na listę zabytków II stopnia wybudowany przez Mackenzie & Moncur z Edynburga. 50–60% terenu składało się z otwartych terenów trawiastych, odpowiednich do uprawiania sportu, a większość pozostałej części została zaprojektowana jako formalne ogrody i jeziora. Kemp zaprojektował tor do jazdy konnej („Rotten Row”), jednak nie przyjął się i został przeprojektowany na tor rowerowy około 1907 roku. Stanley Park jest znany z podziału boisk rywalizujących klubów piłkarskich z Merseyside, Evertonu i Liverpoolu. Jednak był to również pierwotny dom początkującego klubu piłkarskiego Everton w 1879 roku, zanim klub przeniósł się na pobliską Priory Road, a następnie Anfield Road. Część Stanley Park miała zostać włączona do obszaru proponowanego nowego stadionu Liverpoolu, którego plany ogłoszono po raz pierwszy w 2000 roku, ironicznie w tym samym miejscu, w którym grał Everton F.C., ale zmiana właściciela klubu jesienią 2010 roku spowodowała, że ​​projekt Stanley Park został porzucony w październiku 2012 roku na rzecz rozbudowy Anfield. W parku znajduje się kościół ewangelicki położony na rogu między dwoma drużynami piłkarskimi. Nosi nazwę „Stanley Park Church” i ma ponad 100 lat. Park został nazwany na cześć Lorda Stanleya z Preston. Przypisy
Malplaquet House

Malplaquet House is a Grade II listed Georgian house at 137–139 Mile End Road, Stepney, London. The four-storey house was built as one of three in 1742 by Thomas Andrews; only two of the houses survive to the present day. A wealthy Jewish widow was the first occupier of the house, with the brewer Harry Charrington living there from 1794 to 1833 (Charrington Brewery had offices in the Mile End Road). Charrington greatly altered the house, and following his occupancy the house was subdivided, and shops built on the front garden. Malplaquet House is named after the Battle of Malplaquet, one of the main battles of the War of the Spanish Succession, which took place in France in 1709. However, it is not known whether this naming came from the Jewish widow of the London merchant, who made his living selling war salvage, or from a later resident, the military surgeon Edward Lee. During the rest of the 19th century, the house played host to a variety of small businesses including a bookmaker and a printer, before being occupied in 1910 by the Union of Stepney Ratepayers. The Stepney union remained in the house until 1975. During their occupation, Malplaquet House was further subdivided and additions made to its structure. Malplaquet House was damaged during the London Blitz, but repairs began in 1951 after a £100 donation from the War Damage Association. The architect Richard Seifert provided new shop fronts for the house. Prior to becoming badly degraded in the 1990s, the next door property to Malplaquet House, 133 to 135 Mile End Road, was occupied by A. Leaver Ltd, Packing Case Makers to H-M- Government. The owner of A. Leaver Ltd. advocated for the protection of the properties during compulsory purchase negotiations that commenced as part of the Dockland's development. This led to the intervention of the Spitalfields Trust which helped save it from potential demolition. In 1998, Tim Knox (former director of Sir John Soane's Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, now Director of the Royal Collection) and landscape gardener Todd Longstaffe-Gowan purchased the house from the Spitalfields Trust for £250,000. It had not been inhabited as a personal residence for over a century. Knox and Longstaffe-Gowan's collections of objets d'art and esoteric objects, obtained from Portobello Market, auctions and flea markets, expanded to fill Malplaquet House. In 2010, it was described by The Daily Telegraph as "possibly the most superbly restored, privately owned Georgian house in the country". The house is part of a group of Grade II listed buildings on the Mile End Road, listed as 133–139 Mile End Road. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since March 1978. References Bibliography Stourton, James (2012). Great Houses of London.

London Transport Museum

London Transport Museum je muzeum zaměřené na historii dopravy v Londýně. Nachází se v oblasti Covent Garden v Londýnském obvodu Westminster. Hlavní část sbírek muzea je umístěna v rozsáhlé budově postavené roku 1872, dříve používané jako květinová tržnice. Sbírky muzea obsahují mnoho autobusů, tramvají a železničních dopravních prostředků. Exponáty v muzeu obsahují různé typy předmětů od pohlednic s dopravní tematikou po kompletní soupravu metra z roku 1938, která je umístěna v depozitáři muzea. V souvislosti s rekonstrukcí budovy v Covent Garden je většina exponátů přemístěna do depozitáře na Gunnersbury Lane, rozsáhlého účelového komplexu. Depozitář je přístupný po několik víkendů v roce a pro objednané prohlídky doprovázené průvodcem. Historie Muzeum bylo otevřeno v Covent Garden roku 1980. Původně bylo označováno jako London Transport Museum a specializovalo se na historii London Transport – organizace zabezpečující provoz metra a autobusové dopravy. Muzeum bylo krátce přejmenováno na London's Transport Museum, ale později se přejmenovalo zpět na London Transport Museum. Roku 2000 se vlastníkem muzea stala organizace Transport for London, nově vytvořený správní orgán zodpovědný za dopravu ve Velkém Londýně. V té době se také rozšířilo zaměření sbírek muzea tak, aby postihlo všechny aspekty dopravy v Londýně. V posledních letech muzeum prošlo náročnou rekonstrukcí, dnes je opět otevřeno pro veřejnost. Hlavní budova v Covent Garden byla z důvodu rozsáhlé rekonstrukce, která byla dokončena v roce 2007, uzavřena pro veřejnost Odkazy Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu London Transport Museum na Wikimedia Commons Oficiální stránky
