Movers, shakers and opinion-makers
This week's Time Out features London's top 100 "movers, shakers and opinion-makers" (you can read the top 20 online). As you would expect, quite a number of them have an SE1 connection:
- Woody Allen - his latest film, Match Point, features Bankside locations
- Banksy - the removal of his work in Clink Street has caused a stir on our forum
- Alice Rawsthorn - director of the Design Museum
- Shami Chakrabarti - director of Trinity Street-based Liberty
- Trevor Phillips - chair of the Borough High Street-based Commission for Racial Equality
- Nicholas Hytner - director of the National Theatre
- David Sharpe - general manager of the London Eye
- Nicholas Serota - director of Tate
- Ken Knight - commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, based on Albert Embankment
- Norman Foster - architect responsible for City Hall and the Millennium Bridge
and of course the top spot goes to... - Ken Livingstone - whose career in London politics spans County Hall and City Hall
