	The 1943 Abercrombie Plan for a London open space system
		Open space should be co-ordinated into a park system to provide 'an easy flow of open space from garden to park, from park to parkway, from parkway to green wedge and from green wedge to Green Belt.
		The areas of required new open space are based on the population figures, after decentralization to a net density of 136 persons per acre, in those areas concerned, and elsewhere on an estimated 1945 population, allowing for a continuation of the decreases or increases in population which have taken place over the last twenty years.
		Of the 2,612 acres of private open space suitable for public use in the County, a considerable proportion is surplus to the standard of 4 acres per 1,000 inhabitants in the districts where it is located.

	House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Memoranda
		Open spaces are often referred to as "outdoor youth centres", and the spring and summer in particular have very high levels of use by young people meeting on the sites in one of the few areas where they are not then perceived as a nuisance by residents.
		Parks and Open Spaces therefore have a major role to play in the Government's crime and disorder and social exclusion and healthy living agendas.
		Dogs mess is still one of the major reasons why residents will not visit parks or will not allow their children to use parks, and is a major reason why children themselves are dissatisfied with parks and may also react to an adult culture that preaches cleanliness but practices the opposite.

	The Big London Trip
		There are also unmetered spaces, and Susan has a parking license which cost her 70 pounds per year, and entitles her to park in her home borough in any unmetered space, without paying.
		Parking turned out to be a public park that charges 80 pence per hour for the first 4 hours, and then jumps to l5 pounds if you go even one minute over 4 hours.
		Kensington Park - one of the finest ones - and Hyde Park were both attached to Kensington Palace, which Tina and I visited during our l988 trip here, where several generations of royalty have lived and where Princess Diana still lives.

		Parks management, on the other hand, is about spending up to about 80 per cent of the total funding on parks in what is about 90 per cent of the park's life.
		Park managers look after a whole range of these—urban and country parks, commons, housing estate land, playgrounds, urban woodlands, cemeteries, a whole range of different areas—and often they are hard to define.
		But at the end of the day, the model of the British park was a municipal and local government invention and it has been exported to virtually every developed country in the world and many of them are still using it as the key agent of regeneration in their cities.

	Chelsea Settlement 3
		Chelsea House of 1874 at the corner of Lowndes Street and Cadogan Place was demolished in 1934 to make way for what is perhaps Chelsea’s most stylish block of interwar flats and shops, designed by Thomas Tait, which made the junction into a local commercial focus.
		Chelsea still attracted many visitors, often nostalgically in search of the scenes of the Sixties or of its older artistic connections, but both its pop and its bohemian pasts had been largely smartened away.
		Chelsea was favoured because at the time when the fashion for large and luxuriously fitted studios flourished, prompted by the rise of professionalism among artists, it had sites available for building at reasonable cost, while still being close to the West End and the picture-buying public.
