"At the turn of the nineteenth century, Montagu Square resident Robert Coates was the self-proclaimed finest actor of his generation. Financing his own productions, he often forgot his lines, repeated his favourite scenes 3 or 4 times in a performance and even made up entire new scenes to the bemusement of those around him."

Olivier Bancoult - A Cry For Freedom - Book Launch
This event focuses on the recent book covering the life of Olivier Bancoult, one of the population of the Chagos Islands evicted in the late 1960s to create a UK/US Military base on Diego Garcia. Prevented from returning home after a medical visit to Mauritius, Oliviers life has been a struggle over decades to regain the paradise islands where he was born. Enduring the poverty and bewilderment of Exile, he has led the Chagossian peoples fightback. This book tells the story of Oliviers life as the backdrop to their struggle, catapulting him to the forefront of a series of high-profile law cases in every court in England, to the European Court and to the Supreme Court of the USA. Finally the United Nations and the World Court took notice of their plight and has decreed that it is Mauritius, rather than the UK, that is sovereign of these islands, leading to the great powers agreeing to hand them back- and finally paving the way to Olivier and the Chagossians returning home. Launch to be moderated by theRt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn MP. Please click link to register in advance. This event is free of charge and refreshment will be available.Read more

About Connaught Square
Connaught Square, in the City of Westminster (a London Borough), was the first square of city houses to be built in the Bayswater area. It was named after the Duke of Gloucester (who was also the Earl of Connaught), who had a house nearby. The current appearance of the square dates from the 1820s. The square is just north of Hyde Park, and to the west of Edgware Road. It is also within 300m of Marble Arch, and the western end of Oxford Street. Connaught Square's architecture is primarily Georgian. Redevelopment was initially planned in the early 18th century and the first of its 45 brick houses was built in 1828 as part of the Hyde Park estate by Thomas Allason.
