I?m surprised to learn the view of St Paul?s cathedral from Dawson?s Hill is not protected when the one from One Tree Hill is! I think Dawsons? Hill has a better view, probably the best in London, even better than Alexandra palace, Primrose Hill and the London eye. Just looked it up and most of the viewing corridors are protecting aspects from the north, typical London to be so north-centric. Would be great to protect Dawsons? Hill?s view of St Paul?s cathedral whilst there is the chance. How do these things work?

We once lingered there too long admiring the view and found ourselves locked in the cemetery 🤣

It's slightly buried within London Planning's website but there's a list of the viewing corridors there:

Tower of London and Palace of Westminster have similar (smaller) protected views. It's why the Leadenhall Building (the "Cheesegrater") slopes backwards, to sort of remove itself a bit from being directly behind St Pauls.

Well London to the north of St Pauls is flat; London to the south is elevated so the issue of viewing corridors was considerably lower when they were introduced. But then again, no-one back then really foresaw 40+ storey buildings...

    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad.
