Park Plaza Westminster Bridge

The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge is a hotel at 200 Westminster Bridge Road in London with 1,023 bedrooms. It was designed by BUJ architects, Uri Blumenthal architects and Digital Space, and was built on the site of the County Hall Island Block, an annex of London County Hall, that was demolished in 2006. The building, also known as No 1 Westminster Bridge Road, had been disused since 1986 and had become derelict, being described by the BBC as "one of London's most hated eyesores". The hotel had over 840 investors. During the topping out celebration on 21 July 2009, Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, secured the last beam in place. The hotel opened on 1 March 2010 and cost £350 million. It is part of the PPHE Hotel Group. The Times's Mystery Guest thought the hotel looked like a huge bowling ball. The reviewer found the hotel to be "claustrophobic" and to have background music that was overwhelming. Food critic Giles Coren of The Times called the hotel a "hulking carbuncstrosity" that is "self-besplattered with enormous bill posters". Diva reviewer Lotte Jeffs thought it had "all the inconspicuousness of a big city chain hotel" and liked its "stylish flourishes and designer details". Jessica Phillips of Time Out said it "caters to the masses" and has "deliberate" minimalism. According to The Daily Telegraph reviewer Francesca Syz, the hotel is "futuristic" and gave an unobstructed sightline of Westminster Bridge.

Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library

The Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library (‘Bodleian Art Library’ in its shortened form, formerly the Sackler Library) holds a large portion of the classical, art historical, and archaeological works belonging to the University of Oxford, England. History The library building was completed in 2001 and opened on 24 September of that year, enabling the rehousing of the library of the Ashmolean Museum. The library entrance is at 1 St John Street. It was principally funded by a donation from the multi-millionaire Mortimer Sackler. It was designed by Robert Adam with Paul Hanvey of ADAM Architecture. Its main building is a circular drum, a reference to the Classical origins of many of its holdings. One of the outer walls of the drum is decorated by a Classical frieze. The architects claim the circular entrance vestibule is derived from the Doric Temple of Apollo at Bassae, first excavated by Charles Robert Cockerell, the architect who designed the adjacent Ashmolean Museum. The library is administered as part of the multi-site Bodleian Library, the central libraries of the University of Oxford. Renaming The library was originally named for the Sackler family, whose funding of the arts became controversial in the context of the opioid epidemic. It was renamed the Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library at a meeting of the University Council on 15 May 2023, following a review of the university's relationship with the family. Collections The library's holdings incorporate the collections of four older libraries, namely the Ashmolean library, the Classics Lending Library, the Eastern Art Library, the Griffith Institute and the History of Art Library. Major subject areas are: Western European Art since c. AD 1000 History of Art Classical and Byzantine art and archaeology Papyrology and Greco-Roman Egypt Near Eastern archaeology and cuneiform languages Egyptology and Coptic Ancient history Epigraphy Classical languages and literature Prehistoric archaeology of Europe and North Africa Archaeology of Roman provinces Medieval European archaeology Theoretical and scientific archaeology Numismatics Among the celebrated holdings are the Heracles Papyrus, a fragment of 3rd century Greek manuscript containing a poem about the Labours of Heracles, along with over 100,000 fragments found at Oxyrhynchus known as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri.
