The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPharmS or RPS) is the body ostensibly responsible for the leadership and support of the pharmacy profession (pharmacists) within England, Scotland and Wales. It was created along with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in September 2010 when the previous Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was split so that representative and regulatory functions of the pharmacy profession could be separated. Membership of the society is not a prerequisite for engaging in practice as a pharmacist within the United Kingdom. It is not known how many pharmacists opted to join the Society. Its predecessor the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was founded on 15 April 1841.

Garden Museum
Garden Museum

The Garden Museum (formerly known as the Museum of Garden History) in London is Britain's only museum of the art, history and design of gardens. The museum re-opened in 2017 after an 18-month redevelopment project.The building is largely the Victorian reconstruction of the Church of St Mary-at-Lambeth which was deconsecrated in 1972 and was scheduled to be demolished. It is adjacent to Lambeth Palace on the south bank of the River Thames in London, on Lambeth Road. In 1976, John and Rosemary Nicholson traced the tomb of the two 17th-century royal gardeners and plant hunters John Tradescant the Elder and the Younger to the churchyard, and were inspired to create the Museum of Garden History. It was the first museum in the world dedicated to the history of gardening.The Museum's main gallery is on the first floor, in the body of the church. The collection includes tools, art, and ephemera of gardening, including a gallery about garden design and the evolution of gardening, as well as a recreation of Tradescant's 17th-century Ark. The collections give an insight into the social history of gardening as well as the practical aspects of the subject. There are three temporary exhibition spaces which look at various aspects of plants and gardens and change every six months The redevelopment of the Museum, completed in 2017, included two new garden designs. The Sackler Garden, designed by Dan Pearson sits at the centre of the courtyard, replacing the knot garden, and the Museum's front garden is designed by Christopher Bradley-Hole. In 2006, Christopher Woodward, formerly director of the Holburne Museum in Bath, Somerset, was appointed as the director of the Garden Museum.

Community of Saint Anselm

The Community of Saint Anselm is an Anglican religious order of young people, devoted to prayer, study and service to the poor. It is based at Lambeth Palace in London, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury.It consists of an annually replaced 16 residential members from around the world, and around 20 non-residential members who live and work in the London area. Members may be aged 20–35. The community is dedicated to Saint Anselm, and is under the patronage of the current Archbishop of Canterbury, the primus inter pares of the Anglican Communion. The archbishop serves as the abbot, assisted by a prior, and the community abides by a Benedictine-inspired Rule of Life. The Community of Saint Anselm is of an ecumenical nature; part of its purpose is to bring people from different countries and different denominations together, and four members of the Catholic Chemin Neuf Community live with and support the community.The quasi-monastic institute was founded in September 2015 at the initiative of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who stated his intention "that Lambeth Palace be not so much a historic place of power and authority, but a place from which blessing and service reach to the ends of the earth". Part of the rationale for the new community was a desire to meet the needs of young people considering a monastic path but reluctant to embark upon a potentially lifelong commitment. The American theologian Stanley Hauerwas was cited as an influence on the new initiative. Comparisons have been drawn to a gap year, though this analogy was not promoted by the archbishop's chaplain, Jo Bailey Wells, who was instrumental in establishing the community. In 2018 Welby said of the community, "it’s grown: it’s developed, it’s got much deeper roots, it’s wonderful — and we’re seeing other communities growing up in other places".
