America Square – Wall Facts!
February 17th, 2009
Yesterday I met one of our lovely clients and was talking about the section of the Roman Wall that runs through our America Square Conference Centre, and that originally ran all the way around Roman London (330 acres).
He told me that when a lot of our cities in England were walled, there was a curfew for getting into the city, before the gates were locked at night. In order to get from London, when the gates opened, to Canterbury, when their gates closed, you had to ride your horse at a fast pace. This pace was called a ‘canter’ and this is where the word comes from!
Why not come and see the wall for yourself at our America Square Conference Centre.

Going Green – Composting
February 11th, 2009
We have introduced a new scheme at the Cavendish to compost our waste food. We are working with London Recycling to have our waste food collected, which then results in PAS 100 Standard and ABPR compliant compost. This minimises the need for in-organic fertilizers and diverts waste from landfill.

It's Snow Joke!
February 9th, 2009
We at Cavendish Conference Venues hope that everyone enjoyed the snow last week. You will be glad to know, that despite the conditions, we made it through the weather and into the offices.
I, however, did get stuck on my way to Sheffield last week, and was forced to turn around at Leicester.
While the snow is a distant memory in London, it is still very much in evidence in Potters Bar, where my train is currently stopped!
Fingers crossed we have seen the worst of it now, and to combat the wintry weather, we are armed with lots of hot coffee, and warming winter menus to reward you when you get to us.
Don’t forget to enquire about our new venue, The Hallam. This beautiful Edwardian building is an excellent choice for meetings, conferences, receptions and dinners.
