This hidden, little-known Mayfair square – festooned with exotic trees and endowed with two fascinating churches – gets few visitors. But it’s one of London’s best secret gardens. The discreet gate entrance, slightly set into an alleyway, doesn’t even graze the corner of tourists’ eyeballs, which are too fixed ahead as they make a beeline for the nearby Grosvenor and Berkeley Squares.
Even locals are oblivious, what with it being hidden behind a squadron of millionaire mansion blocks.
I love the incongruity of the palm trees scattered across the lawn. There’s a Canary Islands date palm at the far end, which always gives me amusement because it’s so fat and squat; it always looks like someone cut off half the trunk then replanted it. There’s also a smattering of tall Chinese windmill palms with broad, rustling, spiky leaves that resemble shredded umbrella heads. Their soil beds are fringed with camellias and holly shrubs. Apparently palm trees are quite suited to London, as they are hardy enough to withstand the changeable weather, and pollution.
But even in winter, I enjoy coming here and walking through slowly. In fact, this is when Mount Street Gardens seems most ethereal. The air has a watery, cold, country smell thanks to the ice-slicked grass. It might be due to there being some micro-climate, but there’s always a thin layer of frost licking above the lawn like a delicate white stretch of angel hair, even in the middle of the day.
The first one (if you’re coming from Mount Street) is the Church of the Immaculate Conception, a lavish Gothic Revival edifice dating back to 1849. It’s very imposing – all sky-raking finials, pointed arch windows too black to look through, and lacy latticework darkened in the crags with age.
Don’t be intimidated to go in though, even if you’re not a church-goer – inside it’s unusually colourful, full of splendid stained-glass windows and rich carving work that was outlandish for the time, and vociferously criticised. Evelyn Waugh converted to Catholicism here.
The second religious building in the square is Grosvenor Chapel, which dates back to 1730. It’s a simple, small classical building, rather in the shadow of the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
But if you come here at the right time of day you might hear Renaissance organ music wafting from the windows. The robin birds, which also love Mount Street Gardens, like to join in with their fruity whistle too. The perfect soundtrack for your walk.
Tunnel not very big, about the same size as the Cambridge Legal Wall. Not 100% if legal yet but since its already filled with Graffiti the chances of cops hassling you is small. Its near the police station, if you want to be safe you can stop by there and ask wether its legal or not. Its near a main road but its not visible from the street (somewhat underground). Legal or not its a pretty safe spot to hit!
definitely not a legal wall!..all the paintings looked to be about 10 years old so i did go into the police station to ask and they looked at me like i hade three heads and said no definitely not legal they said it was a felony cuz its the MBTA's property so they had me call them and they said absolutely not.
An LLC, or limited liability company, is a business structure created and regulated by Indiana state law as its own legal entity, therefore protecting members of an LLC from liability for debt incurred by the company, which is desirable for many potential business owners. Indiana has unique and specific laws regarding how to create and manage an LLC; these laws must be followed correctly to form and maintain your Indiana LLC.
Research the name under which you would like your LLC to operate. The name of your LLC must be distinguishable from the names of all other LLCs on file in the state of Indiana, and your company must identify itself as an LLC in its name, according to Indiana Code 23-18-2-8 Sections 1 and 3. A state database is available in which you can check to see if the proposed name of your LLC is taken by another Indiana business (see Resources).
File Articles of Organization with the Indiana Secretary of State. The Secretary of State's website provides the forms, which ask you to identify the name and address, registered agent and intended duration of your LLC. There is a section in which you will be asked to identify whether the LLC is run by its members or by managers; managers do not have to be members of the LLC. Keep in mind that the registered agent, or individual who is responsible for accepting mail and process of service on behalf of the LLC, must be a resident of Indiana, although the agent need not be a member of your LLC. Filing can be done online (see Resources); the filing fee is $90 as of November 2010.
Apply for an employee identification number, or EIN, from the Internal Revenue Service (See Resources). You will not be unable to hire employees or open a bank account in your LLC's name without an EIN. If you plan on hiring employees, Indiana law requires that businesses with employees other than the business owner must have workers' compensation insurance. Also notify the Indiana Department of Revenue for employee withholding tax purposes.
