"The US Embassy is the only US Embassy in the world that does not belong to the United States. They wanted to buy it, but the Freeholder, the Duke of Westminster refused to sell and said he would only rent it. Infuriated, the American appealed to Parliament, but the only compromise on offer was that if the Americans returned all the land that was taken after the Independence War back to his family then he would sell. After the Americans realised that this would be most of Maine and New York, they agreed to a 999 year lease!"
The buzz around Marble Arch is like no other place in London - I always feel like a tourist when walking around here.

Cinderella - The Elders Panto
Oh yes it is — the Church Street Elders are back! Oh no it isn’t — the same old Cinderella you know! Originally written by Janet Locke, an 89-year-old member of the Church Street Elders Drama Group, this brand-new version of Cinderella has been joyfully reimagined through improvisation and play. Part of it is scripted, part of it is improvised — and anything can still happen! Expect laughter, surprises, and a few unexpected twists as our community cast of grannies and grandads bring their own spark to this classic British tradition. There’s an old-lady Fairy Godmother trying to remember her spells, three delightfully outrageous Ugly Sisters, and a King and Prince with plenty of charm (and a bit too much swagger!). This heartwarming panto celebrates community, creativity, and the magic of theatre at any age. So come along, bring the family, and cheer, boo, and laugh with us — it’s all part of the fun!Read more
