The Art Workers Guild
The Art Workers Guild was founded in 1884 by 25 painters, architects, sculptors, designers and craftsmen. Five of them, all young architects, had already been meeting together for a year, and wished to reach out to workers in related disciplines, going beyond the confines of ‘fine’ art set by the Royal Academy. A more diverse group, ‘The Fifteen’, founded in 1881, joined with them to create the Art Workers Guild, and they drew in like minded people. William Morris was elected in 1888, and served as Master in 1892.  The objects of the Guild are to advance education in all the visual arts and crafts by means of lectures, meetings, demonstrations, discussions ... and to foster and maintain high standards of design and craftsmanship in all branches of the visual arts and crafts in any way which may be beneficial to the community.  Pasts members of the Guild include all the major players in the Arts and Craft movement, first and second generation. William Morris lived in Lion Square when he was young and later above his shop with his family in Queen Sq. W. R. Lethaby was Joint Principal of the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. He was responsible for replacing the Victorian drawing-based system of art and design training with a principle of ‘learning by doing. Voysey, Ashbee Gimson, the Powell’s all joined. Sir Edwin Lutyens, the designer Walter Crane, the illustrator Arthur Rackham and Eric Gill. Also painters such as Eric Ravilious and Rex Whistler.  Current members are involved with commissions on a national scale and exhibit their work regularly.

Austin Williams / The Future Cities Project
The Future Cities Project has been set up to critically explore issues around the city. From the urban renaissance to the urban village; from sustainable development to under-development; from density to sprawl; from greenfield to green politics, the Future Cities Project seeks to explore why the terms of the debate - especially around cities - have become so fraught. We recognise that all questions around "the city" seem to be more intractable and less clear cut than they once were. But does that mean that city questions have become more complex, or have we become less confident to answer them?

The project of The Future Cities Project is, to a certain extent, to return to first principles, and critique the rise of determinism, instrumentalism, dogmatism and didacticism in architecture, as well as the malign influence of sustainability, the precautionary principle and risk-aversion within the broader social and political environment in which we all operate

The Brunswick
Designed by Professor Patrick Hodgkinson and built in the early 1960's, the original concept for The Brunswick was a low rise development constituting an urban mix of housing, shops and offices that provided a link between Bloomsbury's square and streets.

Allied London acquired The Brunswick in 1998 and worked with the original architect Professor Patrick Hodgkinson along with architects Levitt Bernstein to redevelop the building, and give The Brunswick a new lease of life. In 2000 it achieved Grade II listed status.The £24 million development programme demanded respect of the needs of the local residents and business people while still retaining the building's original architectural presence. Today the scheme contains both social and private flats, existing shops and restaurants with many still completing renovations and due to open in the immediate future, a supermarket, and the Renoir Cinema.

The Horse Hospital
The Horse Hospital is a rare example of a historically charged building operating with contemporary critical value. It now functions as an independent, non-profit organisation promoting a rarely documented, cutting edge strand of modern art giving artists the context and support they are sometimes denied elsewhere. With over 50 exhibitions in the past 10 years, the artists, musicians and filmmakers who have shown at the Horse Hospital share no common aesthetic bond, other than a desire to exhibit outside of the practise and theory prevalent in contemporary art dialogue. In 1996, the Horse Hospital began kinoKULTURE, London’s only permanent screening club for cult, underground classics and experimental new works, premieres, features, documentaries, pop promos and performance footage. The Horse Hospital’s diverse activities are supported by The Contemporary Wardrobe Collection, suppliers of unique pop fashion items to the film, TV and fashion industries.
