Hoardings are decorated at the Old Operating Theatre Museum


The Cathedral Group have decorated the hoardings currently surrounding St Thomas Church. I'm not entirely sure I would have chosen Pearly Kings and Butterflies but they are better than most hoardings in Central London, so all credit to CG who commissioned them.

Being a passive part of a Building project is always stressful but the workers have been good and so far the project management is so much better than that achieved by our previous landlord's contractors. Cathedral Group seem to be fulfilling their promise to be good landlords. However, we are still in the midst of negotiations which will determine the future of the Museum for maybe the next 20 years or more - so fingers crossed.

I am working on budgets and staffing issues at present, and despite everything that has been thrown at us over the last couple of years am optimistic that we can continue to make progress.

A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
