In and About Drury Lane V2

Drury Lane is a street on the eastern boundary of the Covent Garden area of London, running between Aldwych and High Holborn. The northern part is in the borough of Camden and the southern part in the City of Westminster. Contents. 1 Notable sites on Drury Lane; 2 In popular culture; 3 See also; 4 Notes.

This block includes a good number of character buildings which are what makes Covent Garden what it is. If every block was redeveloped like this i. I have only read the background heritage report but am appalled to find the heritage consultant opinionating as to what is appropriate to demolish or not, or to express opinions on what constitutes a benefit or otherwise. Every street facing facade has its character and value. Both buildings fronting Drury Lane clearly have character and should be conserved - at least the facades.

The utiiitatian rear type facades facing the pedestrian lane may not be a grand piece of architecture, but it represents the bricky character of London vernacular - in my opinion his facade should be modified as necessary, but not more.

Reminiscences Of Michael Kelly V2

After the Kings College debacle, one does not have high hopes of support for conservation from Westminster. It will be interesting to see what EH says. To conclude, given that the developer is assumed to have control of the whole block one would have thought that there are alternate ways which can be explored to keep most if not all the original facades whilst simultaneously adding floors above in a discrete contemporary way to achieve an equivalent level of redevelopment and profitability.

What the hell is that swarming block to the left in the aerial!?! Never noticed that before. Does anyone know why these buildings are in line to be demolished? From the outside, they look in perfect condition. I can see sense in rationalising the space in the middle of the block but the proposed demolishing of handsome buildings which could easily be converted into housing just to put in some expensive resi for no reason other than to profit maximise, Westminster really should say No.

After the Kings College debacle Westminster have been shown up as hypocrites, quite happy to pontificate on other boroughs plans but closer to home quite happy to see its own heritage eradicated. Part of the charm of this area is the largely intact and in good condition warehouses and other Victorian buildings.

August 22nd, , I'll get some photos of the current buildings today to share with everyone. There's a number of outspoken locals here - including those who managed to get buskers banned from certain streets - let's hope they get as annoyed about an actual problem.

What a great idea to provide that forum! We learned some things from the comments. We had a wonderful time, and the flat was in a perfect location. The accommodations were just what we needed. We had a wonderful time. Everything from pick up at the airport to drop off was perfect. The driver was wonderful. The apartment was everything we expected. We will definitely stay there again in the future. It was within walking distance of everything and the tube station was just up the block.

Covet Garden was the ideal location to stay.

Reminiscences Of Michael Kelly V2 by Kelly, Michael

We had a splendid stay at the apartment on Drury Lane. Ricardo met us and was thorough in explaining things and our three nights went very smoothly. We will definitely recommend London Connection and use the service in the future.

Yes, we had a marvellous time in London, and as usual, the service at the apartment was excellent. The Drury Lane address is perfect for theatre-goers, convenient to groceries and pharmacies, and it offers easy access to absolutely everything. We have visited London since and this was, by far, the most relaxed and comfortable trip we have taken.

June 22 – August 13, 2017

The flat was in a perfect location and since I was traveling with my brother the two bedroom, two bathroom configuration was ideal. The flat was immaculate and outfitted with everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to add a larger frying pan about 12 inches in the kitchen and a bath mat in the master shower the floor of which was rather slippery. Ricardo was very welcoming and informative and an excellent representative of your company. We were very impressed, when there was a problem with the flat we had contracted for, and we were moved to a similar location.

It was obvious that our satisfaction was important to your company and this made a very positive impression on us. During our two weeks we revisited many of our favorite museums locales as well as seeing wonderful theatre and walking over much of the city. I will send some other photos in additional e-mails.

We were very satisfied with our experience renting from London Connection and are looking forward to working with you again. We would highly recommend your company to anyone looking for accommodations in London. I just returned from my first ever visit to London. It was tastefully decorated and very clean and comfortable. I have a habit of journaling or reading when I go to bed.

So imagine my delighted surprise when there was a light switch right next to the bed. I could turn out the light without getting out of bed. Joe was my driver both from the airport and back to the airport. He gave me a grand tour as we entered London and told me a lot of stories and history of London. He also made some suggestions of things that might be of interest to see. Such as the Wedding Dress exhibit at the Victoria and Albert, which I did get to see and it was very impressive and interesting.

The people who work for London Connection are wonderful. They are all the epitome of customer service. We had excellent service from start to finish. The apartment was convenient and well stocked. The housekeeping staff should be highly praised for the cleanliness of the apartment. We highly recommend London Connection and this apartment. Wonderful stay here with my husband and our three daughters.

The flat is clean, modern and nicely decorated. It had everything that we needed — most importantly, a great coffee maker and water hot enough for tea right out of the tap. The location is great.
