Afternoon Tea at the Pheasant Hotel in Yorkshire Afternoon Tea at Chewton Glen Afternoon Tea at Lucknam Park Mad Hatter's afternoon tea at the Sanderson HotelLocated in a rich and culturally diverse area, Whitechapel station is an important interchange for both the Hammersmith & City and District lines and London Overground. The design approach will see the new Elizabeth line station weave between the existing transport services to an elevated station concourse which acts as a bridge improving community links. Access to all interchange services will be from a spacious, new ticket hall sitting on a bridge above the Victorian railway. Entry to the station will be through the refurbished original entrance on Whitechapel High Street.

To improve connectivity to the surrounding area a new second entrance will be provided at the northern end of the station. The new station concourse will sweep from the High Street over the East-West Underground lines and above the north-south Overground lines before dipping under the road bridge at Durward Street. testo canzone blue curtain fallsIt continues along the course of the railway cutting where it then allows access to the new platforms.curtains 274cm drop The raised concourse perches on steel struts, resting on the brick arches of the Overground cutting. extra long shower curtain 220cmIt floats in the space, allowing daylight down to the Overground platforms. blackout curtains briscoes

Its green roof, topped with sedum plants, will dip down under a new bridge connecting it to Durward Street, and will provide several environmental benefits including improvements to air quality, noise and storm water attenuation, conservation and biodiversity.dahlia aegean curtains Natural light and fresh air from the station concourse creates a calm, open, brightly-lit environment. curtains and blinds west byfleetA new public square at the northern end of the station provides a new pedestrian link to Whitechapel High Street.cape cod curtains with attached valance Escalators down to the Elizabeth line platform at the northern end are placed in a diagonal slice through the western vent shaft building.

All this is mostly hidden from view externally, behind the existing refurbished modest Victorian station frontage on the High Street, where a widened stone-paved footway makes a forecourt, with a new concourse behind it. A public footway will run right through the station from end to end, reconnecting people north of the station with the High Street. Also to the north, a landscaped public square will replace what is at present a surface car park. To the west, Court Street, leading to a pedestrian bridge over the Underground tracks, will be made vehicle-fee, better paved and lit to be more welcoming. To the south, the widened pavement on Whitechapel Road will link across to the former Whitechapel Hospital. In addition to the station improvements, Crossrail has been working with Tower Hamlets Council on proposals for improvements to the area around the station. Early proposals were published in 2014. 06 Whitechapel station - proposed upper concourse_235990 06 Whitechapel station - proposed ticket hall on Mile End road_235989

Essex Wharf Durward Street site activity update, January 17 Updated working hours at sports pitch 2, October 16 Cambridge Heath site update, January 17 Whitechapel tunnel update, October 16I went online this morning to tap in my postcode and check how much crime takes place in my street. Not that I really wanted to know; it was more a mischievous desire to confirm that the new www.police.uk website was busy crashing. In any case, I know roughly what goes on in our street. The occasional burglary and mugging, no murders in the many years I have lived around here, though there were several on or around the high street a few years back, including a crime of passion: an abandoned wife went into a beauty salon and shot her rival dead. We are invited today to believe that the new website will make most of us feel safer, that information is power and that voters will be able to monitor local trends and do something about it – especially when the coalition's new and accountable police commissioners have been elected by a grateful populace.

Well, Nick Herbert, the police minister, for one, though a huge task like this must have been in the pipeline since you-know-who was in power. The home secretary, Theresa May, whose Maidenhead constituency crime map is among those illustrating newspaper articles, says it's "about fighting crime together". The organisers of the new website – it cost £300,000, according to the Mail (you could run an undercover police Romeo for that sort of money) – have anticipated all sorts of obvious problems such as identifying obvious victims or ruining local house prices. Sexual crimes, for example, are lumped in with "other crimes" to avoid identification. The six main categories, by the way, are burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, other crime, and antisocial behaviour, which, May assured the Guardian this week, she is still taking seriously despite it being a Labour policy. She's cutting the number of asbo-related offences from 19 to 5. But you can see the problem, whatever they say.

Thus Glover's Court in Preston wakes up to find that it is one of England and Wales's crime hotspots – with 152 incidents recorded in the month of December. Is that true, is that fair? I don't know Glover's Court, but it can expect the TV crews to arrive by lunchtime. Elsewhere the data suggests the problem is primarily one of asbo misconduct (73 offences) – nasty enough, but not Al Capone, either. Too late for nuances! Fallibility also surfaced quickly in Bolnore Road, Haywards Heath, a more prosperous Sussex town than Preston, Lancs. It emerged as a hotspot. It was traced to the way hoax calls are all recorded in Sussex – though whether there was a hoaxer in Bolnore Rd was not immediately clear. Nick Herbert says he has championed street-level crime mapping since first encountering them in Los Angeles. Britain's new map website goes further than any other. And various pundits (and estate agents) argue in today's papers that it won't affect the housing market because buyers tend to know these things.

I think that, as with Google Earth maps, which also caused a panic, we should wait and see how it works out. Our old car is still parked outside our Google Earth house (in real life I crashed it last year), the sun shines and the trees are always in full leaf. I visit it in the winter months. But my hunch on day one is that this sort of service, technically brilliant when it settles down, so I expect, will serve chiefly to widen the information gap. Educated and well-off people, with the time, money and broadband access to gobble up this sort of data and put it to good use, will do so. Those without, quite possibly including the good people of Glover's Court, Preston, may struggle to make the case for better policing to the elected police commissioner. In any case, he/she will be struggling with sharply reduced budgets – and pressure from those nice people in Haywards Heath whose pedigree cat has been stolen. Estate agents, insurance companies, credit card firms, takeaway pizza shops, surely they will all use the new service to make snap judgments about the kind of streets they are happy or unhappy to do business in.
