Tavistock Square’s Conscientious Objectors’ Commemorative Stone is a 400 million year old piece of volcanic slate, placed in memory of all those who have refused to fight. It was the work of a group of humanists and pacifists, and is dedicated ‘To all those who have established and who are maintaining the right to refuse to kill’. The campaign was led by Edna Mathieson, whose uncle Joe Brett had been a conscientious objector, and whose enduring philosophy Mathieson described as that of Thomas Paine: ‘my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.’ She was inspired by a comment made by humanist Bill McIlroy, who had led her uncle’s funeral in 1976. Some years later, and with the support of the Peace Pledge Union, Mathieson set about fundraising for the memorial, which was ultimately designed by Hugh Court, of Architects for Peace, and sculptor Paul Wehrle. The stone – sourced in Cumbria – was unveiled at a ceremony on 15 May 1994 by humanist, composer, former conscientious objector, and then President of the Peace Pledge Union Sir Michael Tippett. In the following years, Mathieson worked to organise annual commemorations at the memorial, supported by the British Humanist Association (now Humanists UK), and nearby Conway Hall. Humanists throughout history and across the UK have been actively involved in other efforts to commemorate lives lost to war, to acknowledge the efforts of conscientious objectors, and to maintain peace. In recent years, humanist and activist Steve Roman has been an influential part of the work towards creating Manchester’s Peace Garden, and has for many years led walkers on the Manchester Peace Trail.

가장 높은 지점이 98미터(322피트)에 달하는 Parliament Hill은 센트럴 런던에서 매우 사랑받는 전망대입니다. 한때 국회의사당을 향해 볼 수 있었던 전망 때문에 이름 붙여졌지만, 현대의 개발로 인해 이 전망의 상당 부분이 가려졌습니다. 흥미롭게도, 1605년에 가이 포크스와 로버트 케이츠비가 이 지점에서 의회가 파괴되는 것을 지켜볼 계획이었다는 이야기가 전해집니다. 11월 5일을 기억하라, 기억하라.

The Mixed Bathing Pond to the North and the concerningly named No.2 Pond to the South, seen from Belsize Walk that crosses between the two. The bathing pond is a natural pond and one of London's best open air swimming spots. Lifeguards are on duty and there are changing rooms and outdoor (cold!) showers. At popular times you may need to pre-book.

Standing at 322 ft (98 m) high, Parliament Hill offers great views south towards the City of London and the Houses of Parliament. The hill is topped with a Bronze Age burial mound and is said to be where Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby planned to watch parliament explode in the Gunpowder Plot. This area is well known for cross-country racing and regularly hosts the national championships.

A hill with a beautiful view of the city. The large park is also worth a visit.
