London Gateway Project is a $2.6 billion project is a major port and logistics development in Essex, aimed at dramatically improving Britain's shipping infrastructure. The company undertaking the project is DP World, a Dubai-based company. The London Gateway is a deepwater port, capable of handling essentially any ship. The project is intended to be a significant upgrade on the current Port of London facilities. The Gateway is located on the Thames, not far from both the mouth of the river and from Greater London.
Impacts
There are several ways to examine the impacts of the London Gateway Project. The first is to look at the immediate impacts. Part of the impetus for the Gateway Project is that current ports in Britain tend to be congested. The current major ports on the island are Felixstowe in Suffolk, Southampton and Liverpool. The former two are relatively close to London, but not nearly as close…...

Dickens took a dim view of London's preoccupation with materialism and commercialism -- even though he greatly empathized with the constraints that Londoners of the lower-classes felt.
Bob Cratchit, the poor but humble clerk in the office of Scrooge, serves as the representative of the impoverished but decent working class, with whom Dickens sympathized in the mid-1800s. However, like many of Dickens' characters, he is more fantastic than realistic. Dickens' idealism often had free reign (at least in his early works). Great Expectations, of course, reveals a London full of Londoners who fail to reach the heights of the humble Cratchit. But that novel also comes later in Dickens' career, and reveals a darker era in Dickens' own life, when the city of London seemed less likely to come to terms with its own corruption and spiritual decay.
In David Copperfield, the city of London is remarkably diverse and eclectic --…...

Beijing 2008. A viewer would be hard pressed not to like the Beijing Closing Ceremony, especially if they were a fan of fireworks. When the Olympic athletes wave goodbyes to the audience, it is always jubilant and often free-form -- a favorite was two middle-easterners in their formal white robes standing stark-still and modestly waving their country flags, whilst all around them, athletes from other countries cavorted with abandon. The "tower of Babel" idea was interesting and was, at least, easier to view than other performances on the flat arena floor. Again, though the detail of what was happening on the tower was easily lost. The lengths of fabric that were first pulled up to the top of the tower and then raised like petals on an opening Chrysanthemum were the…...

To Steele, this idle and pleasurable time is a part of personal and emotional growth. To be sure, the text in question is driven by the era's emphasis on Literary Romanticism, where self-discovery is considered among the highest pursuits.
As Steele proceeds through the busy squares and thoroughfares of London, by the docks and through quiet alleys, he offers a sweeping and concise keyhole view into urban subsistence in his time. And he does so with no small air of affection for the bustling sense of purpose bred by this place. The author observes that "chimney-sweepers passed by us as we made up to the Market, and some Raillery happened between one of the Fruit-enches and those black Men, about the Devil and Eve, with Allusion to the several Professions.

London Housing
The research was undertaken to study the link between inequality and depravity, poverty and crime in the housing structures of London. The study found that there is wide spread economic disparity in London. This divide is evident in the living styles and the types of housing structures that people live in. The council or housing estates of the city are primarily the residences of the lower income families. This depravity among social classes creates strain within the residents many of whom resort to antisocial activities. Being influenced by socio-economic factors, some individuals also resort to crime. Thus, the estranged council and housing estates that are home to the lower economic demographics have turned into high-crime areas.

In "London," the most noticeable languages are how he uses repetition, connotation as well as multiple meanings of words. His work choice alone indicates that Blake never picked any words with good connotations which are always negative, for example he uses the word harlot instead of something like courtesan, and plagues instead of sickness (Blake, 2013).
Conversely, repetition was significant in revealing the real meaning of his poem. For example in the first and second lines; "I wander through each chartered street, / Near where the chartered Thames does flow," the word chartered is repeated twice in the first stanza. epetition of the words makes the reader to notice it as he/she considers its implications in the poem. In contrast, the word chartered can be said to have more than one meaning, hence it may be significant in considering whether if this is the reason as to why it has…...

London Congestion Charge
Introduction to the Congestion Charge
Around the world, the population is growing at a rapid rate, making it difficult to manage a lot of things that the governments didn't have to worry about perhaps thirty years ago. A new scheme has been introduced in London to manage the traffic congestion. Under this scheme motorists are obliged to pay £5 everyday. The strength of this system lies in the fact that it helps reduce traffic, allowing journeys and delivery times to be more reliable and simultaneously helping top raise millions each week that can be…...

nineteenth century architecture of Saint Pancras Station from the vantage of the early twenty-first century, the seeming proud grandeur of the design can blind us to the strange and difficult reception that this architecture had on contemporary critics. In the 1870s, the legendary Victorian art critic John uskin is reported to have remarked "At Paddington station I felt as if in hell" (Pearce 63). Presumably uskin was alluding to the vast urban architecture of Milton's depiction of the city of Pandemonium built in hell by the fallen angels of Paradise Lost -- a magnificent but morally wicked architectural achievement, and the reason why earlier in the Industrial evolution, Blake had inveighed against the "dark Satanic mills" which had a monumental grandeur that served a wicked purpose. But to enter Saint Pancras Station in 2015 may very well have the opposite effect: the building feels like a cathedral built not…...

In the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1644, we see a confession of faith statement that is much closer to that of what modern day Baptists would find familiar. ith the coming and continuance of the English Civil ar, Baptists saw the need and took the opportunity to write down their own statement of faith. The document was written and signed by seven separate congregations that collaborated to write the document. The document's purpose was to differentiate the beliefs of the Particular Baptists from the General Baptists. This was to formally define the beliefs of the Particular Baptists as opposed to the General Baptists. hile not detailed, it was very clearly Calvinistic in tone. It rejected the notion that the law convicted of sin, claiming that the terrors of the law were not needed. They were not needed because the gospel alone has the power to do this. Secondly,…...

London restaurant might change over the next ten years?
Background of recent changes
To appreciate the amount of change that can occur within the London restaurant industry over the next ten years and into the future, one must take a brief breath and pause to consider how far the industry has come in the past ten years. Ten years ago today, would anyone have thought that London restaurants would be exporting chefs to America to star in their own series on the American Food Network? Jamie Oliver's success alone as a brand name is testimony to how much the food industry has changed, shifted, and grown. Moreover, the Naked Chef's success as a television empire and reality TV show guru points to the increasing sexiness of food, specifically British food in the eyes of the world as well as the average British patron of the hospitality industry within London itself.

The Menu Drives London Hospitality!
hat is a menu? Simply a list, one might surmise from a basic definition of the word. Simply a written listing of a particular eating establishment's offerings, correct? But the British as a people, it has been alleged by many a foreign observer (and indeed, many a dyspeptic native writer), are an overly verbose and verbal nation, obsessed with the written word and what it 'says' about them as a people and as individuals. Thus, England as a nation may be excused for attaching importance overmuch to the importance of such a listings of offerings and the impression such a listing conveys about an establishment.
People chose a restaurant, and a restaurant establishes its reputation upon the quality of its menu in London. The quality of the food matters less, or even the location, than what the menu says about the establishment…...
