Portman Estate - Tree Planting 2009/10

E-mail Print PDF
The Portman Estate are undertaking a full review of the potential locations for street trees on the Estate and would very much welcome your views.

Attached is a map of the Estate showing existing trees in green and possible new tree locations in red.

Portman Estate Proposed Tree Planting Map

This is the beginnings of a comprehensive survey and The Portman Estate would appreciate at this stage the chance to consult more widely on the exercise and gain input from residents in the area.

It is true to say that there are differing views as to whether trees are appropriate in historic landscapes. The Portman Estate Conservation Area Audit  encourages the planting of trees and there is a general will within the City Council to plant trees in streetscapes wherever possible. This approach is balanced however by caution from Officers that street trees are not necessarily appropriate within well preserved historic landscapes and reference is made to Guidance by English Heritage.The Portman Estate would appreciate resident's thoughts on this approach and particularly input at this early stage as to potential locations where residents would like to see further tree planting or where it is felt inappropriate.

Dorian Aroyo Exhibition at the Menier Gallery

E-mail Print PDF
Dorian Aroyo, local artist and Marylebone Association member is showing a selection of his work entitled "Figure & Field" at the Menier Gallery, 51 Southwark Street, London SE11RU from the 21st of September.

Peter TatchellPeter Tatchell has kindly agreed to open Dorian Aroyo's show at the private view at the gallery on Tuesday 22nd September 2009 at 7.00 pm.
There is a correspondence between Tatchell's long-standing defence of gay rights and Aroyo's politically charged paintings. Both are activists, Peter Tatchell, in human rights and politics, and Aroyo with his figures of gay heroes and heroines, both past and present.
These are figures portrayed against a field of texts that would deny them their rights; they have become Icons that efface the offending texts with the resplendence of their gold leaf and colour. Other works explore and subvert in different ways, the convention of the figure, set politely or comfortably within its field.


Both Aroyo and Tatchell are outsiders in more senses than one. They look in from the outside as British Commonwealth subjects, Tatchell from Australia and Aroyo originally from Malta.


Aroyo's work follows on from a career in architecture and design, most notably for clients such as Hewlett Packard and Blue Circle Industries, his work being extensively reported in the architectural and design press in the 1980's. Upon retirement he has been fortunate in being able to fulfil a desire, long suppressed by the pressures of work, simply to paint. His subject matter, on the other hand, emerges from his life.


This is Aroyo's third show with Paintings in Hospitals the first being at the Sheridan Russel Gallery in 2004 followed by his second show at the Menier Gallery in 2007.

21st September - 3rd October 2009
Gallery open 10am - 6pm
Closed Sunday. Final day closing at 3pm
Admission free. Nearest tube: London Bridge
