Musée et galerie d'art de Brighton

Le musée et galerie d'art de Brighton (Brighton Museum & Art Gallery) est un musée dépendant de la ville de Brighton et Hove, au Sud-Est de l'Angleterre. Il fait partie des pavillons et musées royaux de Brighton et Hove. Histoire Les bâtiments qui abritent les collections du musées furent originellement construits pour le prince de Galles sous George IV et furent complétés en 1805. Ils devaient servir de courts de tennis mais ne furent jamais terminés et servirent de baraquement à chevaux. À la mort de Georges IV en 1830, son successeur Guillaume IV résida également dans le pavillon lors de sa visite de Brighton, cependant, après la dernière visite de la reine Victoria en 1845, le gouvernement planifia la vente et la destruction de l'édifice. Une demande de la part de la ville fut adressée au gouvernement pour qu'il vendit l'édifice à la ville de Brighton, ce qu'il fit pour 53 000 £ en 1850. En septembre 1851 le pavillon fut déclaré être un musée, et il accueillit sa première exposition deux mois plus tard, exposant des artistes locaux (Copley Fielding). La salle des expositions était à l'origine la galerie sud qui est maintenant une salle de conférences depuis que les expositions se déroulent dans ce qui était les cuisines. Les bâtiments annexes furent également utilisés comme musées à partir du début 1856 et font partie du dôme de Brighton, dédié aux expositions temporaires. Le musée et la galerie d'art occupèrent leur site actuel dès 1902, une rénovation majeure eut lieu en 2002 pour 10 millions de livres. L'entrée traditionnelle par le dôme fut alors changée.

Piscator (Paolozzi)

Piscator, also known as the Euston Head, is a large abstract sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi. It was commissioned by British Rail in 1980 for the forecourt of Euston Station in London, and is named for the German theatre director Erwin Piscator. The sculpture is made from cast iron with an aluminium finish, and was cast by the ironfounders Robert Taylor and Co. It measures 3.1 by 4.6 by 1.85 metres (10.2 ft × 15.1 ft × 6.1 ft). In making the work, Paolozzi was assisted by Ray Watson. The sides of the sculpture have silvered bumps and hollows; viewed from above, the top surface resolves into a blocky human body and face. It is described in Pevsner as "a silvered block with curved hollows, and rectangular shapes above". In late 2016, it was reported that the ownership of the sculpture was unclear. It was commissioned by British Rail, which was privatised in the 1990s, and the sculpture may have been inherited by Network Rail, who owns the freehold of the land on which it sits. However, Network Rail has denied ownership, saying that the land is leased to Sydney & London Properties, but the leaseholders have also denied any responsibility for the sculpture. It has since been discovered that the Arts Council of England owns the work. A series of six 4.5 inches (110 mm) models in bronze were also cast, with one held by the Science Museum.

Victoria Coach Station

Victoria Coach Station (VCA) je nejvýznamnějším stanovištěm dálkových autobusů v Londýně a organizační jednotkou Transport for London. Historie Stanoviště Victoria v současné lokalitě na ulici Buckingham Palace Road bylo zprovozněno v roce 1932 společností London Coastal Coaches Limited – sdružením autokarových dopravců. Budova byla navržena společností Wallis, Gilbert and Partners a je postavena ve stylu art deco. V roce 1968 se VCA stala pobočkou National Bus Company (NBC). V 70. letech 20. století se stala pobočkou National Travel (South East) Limited – části NBC. V roce 1978 byla obnovena společnost London Coastal Coaches Company a byla přejmenována na Victoria Coach Station Limited (VCSL). V roce 1988, po privatizaci NBC, společnost VCSL získala instituce London Transport a v roce 2000 byla převzata pod správu Transport for London. Současnost VCA má oddělená příjezdová a odjezdová nástupiště, umístěná na protějších stranách Elizabeth Street. V hlavní budově stanoviště jsou stánky s občerstvením, obchody, úschovna zavazadel a prodejny jízdenek. Nástupiště mají dohromady plochu asi 12 000 m². Hlavními linkami využívajícími služby VCA jsou National Express. Výrazný nárůst počtu autokarů vedl k otevření dalšího stanoviště poblíž VCA – Green Line Coach Station, které využívají například linky Megabus. Dálková autobusová doprava Dálková autobusová doprava spojuje Londýn s ostatními částmi Velké Británie a dalšími městy Evropy. Většinu těchto linek provozuje společnost National Express a její evropská pobočka Eurolines. Autobusy této společnosti mají většinou bílou barvu. Další společností působící v poslední době v této oblasti je velký britský dopravce Stagecoach a jeho Megabus. Tato společnost nabízí na svých linkách levné jízdné vhodné především pro studenty. Jízdenky musí být rezervovány prostřednictvím internetových stránek společnosti. Autobusové linky mezi Londýn a Paříž zajišťují společnosti FlixBus a Ouibus. Další autobusové linky spojují Londýn s městy ve Velké Británii. Například společnost Stagecoach nabízí službu Oxford Tube – autokarovou dopravu do Oxfordu, podobně jako společnost Oxford Bus Company nebo Go-Ahead.

Victoria Coach Station

Victoria Coach Station in the City of Westminster is the largest coach station in London, and a terminus for medium and long distance coach services in the United Kingdom. It is operated by Victoria Coach Station Limited, a subsidiary of Transport for London. As of 2017, there were 14 million passenger and 472,000 coach movements annually. Victoria Coach Station covers 3.3 acres (13,000 m2) with separate arrival and departure terminals on opposite sides of Elizabeth Street. The departure building includes food and retail outlets, left-luggage facilities and a ticket hall. London Buses routes 11, 44, 170, C1, C10, N11 and N44 serve the coach station. It is a short walk from London Victoria station. History Victoria Coach Station was commissioned by London Coastal Coaches, a consortium of coach operators, and opened on 10 March 1932 by Minister of Transport John Pybus. Wallis, Gilbert and Partners' distinctive Art Deco building was originally built with spaces for 76 coaches, and a booking hall, shops, buffet, restaurant, lounge and bar. London Coastal Coaches' headquarters and other offices occupied upper floors. During World War II coach travel was restricted and the War Office requisitioned the premises. By the 1960s, operation of the station had passed through industry consolidation to Tilling Group and British Electric Traction, whence it was reorganised by the Transport Act 1968 to become part of National Bus Company. Subsequently it was transferred to London Transport in 1988, and Transport for London (TfL) in 2000. Freehold owner, Grosvenor Group, announced in 2013 that it wished to redevelop the site and relocate station operations elsewhere in London, though the following year English Heritage designated the building Grade II listed. Nevertheless, several of TfL's leases on the station were due to expire by 2023 and proposals were made to relocate to Royal Oak, but in 2019 the move was abandoned. Utilisation Use of the coach station has increased from 2008 to 2018. Data from 2008/2009 until 2019/2020 is for departing passengers only and both departing and arriving coaches. Data from 2020/21 onwards is 'passenger movements through the site' and 'Domestic and International Accessible Departures'. TfL does not state a reason for the reporting being different. Operators As of 2023, service operators include: Financial Profits for TfL subsidiary Victoria Coach Station Ltd have increased over recent years. Controversy In 2019, Transport for London was served a Fire Enforcement Notice after a "catalogue of major fire risks" were found by London Fire Brigade inspectors at Victoria Coach Station. The deficiencies included holes in walls, which could cause a fire to spread; inadequate fire sprinkler systems that had been broken and out of use for more than two years, and obstructed exit routes used for storage. Fire experts described the situation as a "walking disaster area" and "by far the worst I've seen in a long time". Transport for London posted fire watchers.
