“Let it Be” protests music fans and performers against threats of the Abbey Road Studios being sold

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Beatles fans can all breathe a sigh of relief, as EMI music group announced Sunday that it would not be selling the Abbey Road Studios in London; the building has officially been named a historic building by English Heritage.  The Abbey Road Studios were used by the Beatles for nearly all of their recordings, and they even entitled their 1969 album, Abbey Road.   Music fans travel from all over the world to visit the infamous London Street which has been the center of the music world for over 75 years.  As well as being home to the Beatles, The Abbey Road Studios have also played host to other celebrities including Michael Jackson, Iron Maiden, and Oasis.

Professional Photographers to Protest in London’s Trafalgar Square

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Today see a protest by amateur and professional photographers in London’s Trafalgar Square following rising tensions between photographers and police over the implementation of Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Many photographers feel intimidated by Police as a result of actions to target possible terrorists who may be on reconnaissance missions in areas of Central London including Mayfair, Soho and St James’s and other major cities.

The protesters are echoing the views of the European Court of Human Rights who last week ruled the power to stop and search people without suspicion was indiscriminate and therefore illegal.

It is estimated up to 36,000 people were stopped under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act between April 2009 and June 2009.

John Yates, the head of counter-terrorism at the Metropolitan Police, has stated that Police risk losing public confidence as a result of the tactics they are employing under the controversial law.

Lord Carlile, the government’s independent reviewer of anti-terrorist legislation has publically stated that he believes “section 44 is being used far too often on a random basis without any reasoning behind its use”.

Marc Vallee, one of the photographers behind the protest, said, “Photographers will be exercising their common law right to take a picture in a public place – and they will be doing it collectively. People are fed up about being stopped and they want to challenge a culture that sees photographers as a threat.”

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Albemarle Street is a street in the heart of Mayfair in Central London, off Piccadilly, just five minutes away from Green Park underground station. It was the first one way street in London, aimed at getting traffic flowing better and has historic associations with Lord Byron. Best known for its art galleries, it is a host to such well known galleries like  the Albemarle Gallery, which represents contemporary paintings and sculptures from around the world, and has a tradition of supporting controversial artists and create superbly presented exhibitions. The Belgravia Gallery is here too, along with the  Marleborough Fine Art Gallery.

One of the best museums in London, The Royal Institution of Great Britain, is on Albemarle Street which runs a variety of exhibitions throughout the year. Club wise, one of the best karaoke bars in London is here: Cousin Jills, which offers an upmarket Mayfair setting to host events for corporate clients and celebrities.

Lovers of shopping will be pleased to find Guinot and London fashion designer Paul Smith’s stores are here, and along with the oldest jeweller in the world – Garrard & Co. Sort out your grooming dilemmas at Guinot, while the don of British fashion Paul Smith can sort out your sartorial ones at number 9.

There are some top London restaurants here too. Chor Bizarre serves top-class Indian cuisine, or go Italian at Ristorante Mosaico. There’s Japanese and Korean food here too from Sumosan and the Korean Kaya restaurants.

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay as well as food, Browns Hotel is here with its in-house restaurant, The Grill. It is London’s oldest operating five-star hotel, opened in 1837 (the year Victoria ascended the throne) by the enterprising James Brown, who was once Lord Byron’s valet.

Guy Fawkes Fireworks Celebrations Light Up London This Weekend to Mark Anniversary of Plot to Destroy Parliament

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Three days of Guy Fawkes celebrations across London kicked off on Thursday night with dozens of fireworks displays in London parks to commemorate the infamous failed gunpowder plot to destroy the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I in 1605.

The events in London promise the best pyrotechnics and are expected to draw in large crowds particularly as many of them are free. Last night thousands flocked to south London venues where many of the top displays were taking place.

There were fireworks and bonfires at Brockwell Park, Clapham Common, Streatham Common, Wimbledon Park, Crystal Palace Park and Southwark Park. There was also displays at Roundwood Park, Brent and Syon Park, Brentford — where the Gunpowder Plot was re-enacted.

Firework displays will also be held on Friday and on Saturday when crowds will gather at some of the country’s biggest fireworks shows. Fireworks at Alexandra Palace will be coupled with England’s largest German beer festival and a funfair, and this year’s display at Battersea Park will be set to music with the theme of love.
