About this deal

These formed an awkward entrance which contributed to the tower’s original failure as commercial office space.

If your looking for unique take on the Sultan's court politics or even just his political life itself this might be a good companion piece along with a biography. The whole area, named St Giles after the church just to the south, is one that has been perennially subject to improvements over the years. Not that it's an overly romanticised history - there is a lot of counting and describing of jewels and fabrics, a lot of walking through huge buildings that honestly, I couldn't really conceive of the size, and a lot of disposing of people - but you do find yourself lulled into something like an Arabian Night's tale, with the grand characters like the Doge of Venice, Suleyman of Turkey, Charles V and Francis, "The Most Christian King", and then later, Barbarossa the Pirate.I didn't know, for instance, that Barbarossa was more than a pirate-he was a skilled naval commander and for all practical purposes, the lynchpin of the Ottoman Navy, whose naval campaigns extended the EMpire. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain!

Despite their proximity, affordable rent units won’t be built to the same standards of space or build quality as their multi-million-pound neighbours; but that isn’t likely to bring them any closer within the reach of the 5,500 people on Camden’s housing waiting list (down from 27,000 in 2014 since the 2011 Localism Act allowed councils to change the criteria for qualification) or the nearly 1,300 people that are homeless in the borough. He was, after all, the leader of Islam, and he turned for guidance to the scholarly doctors who studied the scriptures.The other was Suleyman’s Grand Vizier, Ibrahim of Parga, who was born an Albanian Christian and ended up first a slave and then the second figure in the empire.

Deploying the techniques of a novel and written almost wholly in the present tense, The Lion House presents an immersive drama of espionage and international power-broking in sixteenth century Europe - a time when the great fear of Christendom was Suleyman the Magnificent, who vied with the Holy Roman Emperor for the title of 'Sovereign of the World', and his terrifying pirate commander Barbarossa. Pell Frischmann has undertaken significant design changes to Centre Point House and Centre Point Link to enhance the new public spaces. Filled with natural daylight from the feature glass wall and garden beyond, our venue will delight your guests. What I loved most, though, is the interweaving of the bits and pieces of history that I've read over the years. Lion House was formerly part of Brattleby Hall, which was the living quarters for the decorated wing commander who was also the first commanding officer of the famous 617 squadron.

While the tower’s lobby has been beautifully reconfigured by Conran with the graphic black and white of its tiled floors echoed in patterned furnishings by design company Eley Kishimoto, it has as limited an engagement with the immediate public realm as that of any high-end apartment-block lobby.

The spatially separated stairs are connected at second floor level, allowing flexibility in the building’s use and occupation. The location is perfect, the amenities on offer in Ashbourne are vast, the Tissington trail on the doorstep (tip - start from the tunnel entrance down near a Sainsbury’s) and Dovedale only 5mins drive away.Mountain bikers will love cycling across the moorland and along forest trails, with a stunning technical trail beginning at North Bovey leading to Lustleigh Cleave.

I find the Ottoman Empire fascinating, and this is the first volume of a proposed trilogy of historical fiction on Suleyman the Magnificent, under whose reign the Ottoman Empire expanded like never before. Richard Seifert’s landmark Grade II-listed Centre Point tower was once described by Eduardo Paolozzi as London’s first Pop Art building. It's not French History, Spanish History, Turkish History, or Venetian History - it's History, writ very large indeed, across a vast section of the world.
