			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/2012/01/14/an-amazing-renewal/"><center><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-48376" title="King’s Cross station" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/782029290.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="348" /></center></a></p>
<p>Originally opened in 1852, <em><strong>King&#8217;s Cross Central</strong></em> is one of the most significant development and regeneration opportunities in Central <strong><em><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/index.php?s=london">London</a></em></strong>. Its proximity to the <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/2009/09/26/a-jewel-in-the-london%E2%80%99-crown/">St. Pancras</a> mainline station makes it one of Britain&#8217;s biggest transport hubs. More than 50 million commuters use its 11 platforms each year. This solid built station was unfortunately known to be stand offish and dark, so one of the purposes of the renovation is to make it feel more attractive and liveliness. The three-part project involved the renovation of the train sheds and surrounding support buildings, as well as a detailed restoration of historic buildings and the classic Victorian facade.<span id="more-48374"></span></p>
<p><center><img class="aligncenter" title="Kings-Cross-Station-Renovation" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Kings-Cross-Station-Renovation-John-McAslan-3-e1316986561757.jpg" alt="" width="589" height="425" /></center><br />
Arguably the most interesting of the scheme&#8217;s characteristic is a towering fortify funnel which welcomes travelers to the Station through its metal tendrils. Rising 20m from the provide floor, the searing fluted structure spans the entire 150m width of the Grade I listed Western Range drawing attention to the beautiful heritage architecture under which has been uncovered for the first case being 1972.</p>
<p><center><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48377" title="aircutaway-johnmcaslan-partners" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1314019888-aircutaway-johnmcaslan-partners-528x371.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="371" /></center><br />
The spectacular new canopy on the Western concourse of King&#8217;s Cross station is designed by experienced architects <em><strong>John McAslan + Partners</strong></em>. The multi-phase scheme takes a three-pronged approach: re-use, restore, and new build. The various train sheds and buildings across the Western Range are being re-used, the Station’s original Grade I listed facade from 1852 is being uncovered also restored to its former splendor, and a spacious new Western Concourse will be inserted above the London Underground Ticketing Hall. When the works to the station are complete and it opens to the public in March 2012, the 7,500sq m concourse will be the largest single-span Station structure in Europe. The transformed station and its remarkable new Western Concourse will take on the role of a new, iconic architectural gateway to the city in the time for the 2012 London Olympics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/2011/11/18/leave-the-city-behind/"><img class="size-full wp-image-46625 aligncenter" title="coworth-park-exterior" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/coworth-exterior2_1923409b.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="361" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Opened last September, Coworth Park, Ascot is a luxurious country manors located just 30 miles outside <em><strong><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/index.php?s=london">London</a></strong></em>. A late 18th century country house, Coworth House is the eighth property in The Dorchester Collection. This is a modern English country house hotel set on 240 acres of parkland on the border of Windsor Great Park. Offering a signature luxury retreat, this five-star country-house hotel is the only UK hotel with its own polo grounds. <span id="more-46624"></span><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-46626 aligncenter" title="coworth-park" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbs.php_.jpeg" alt="" width="581" height="338" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-46628" title="cowarth-park-bath" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cowarth-park-bath-c-m-kemp-249x300.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="300" />The interiors at Coworth Park exhibit a distinctly modern flair. In 2008, its interiors were gutted and rebuilt to facilitate the house&#8217;s new use as a hotel. The Georgian charm of the original Coworth Park&#8217;s manor house estate has been enhanced with an eccentric decorative flair that is altogether contemporary. Providing the ultimate in luxury and comfort, the 70 guest rooms and suites feature subtle elements from their original days, including V-groove paneling, oak floors and leather details. Details blend seamlessly with an understated design palette full of subtle yet playful creative accents. The 17th-century mansion and polo estate has been treated to an intelligent and eco-friendly modern makeover that&#8217;s given it three restaurants, a spectacular eco-spa, heated pool and an air of quietly confident grandeur. Guests can enjoy cocktails, afternoon tea, relax and read a book in front of open fireplaces in the enchanting Summer Room and Drawing Room. Dining options include a restaurant within the Manor house, John Campbell at Coworth Park, serving a modern British menu using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The hotel features outdoor activities such as horseback riding, tennis, polo and croquet. Whether you get your boots muddy or venture no further than the restaurant, make sure you have some fun.</p>
