The 18th Century meets The 21st Century


The team at Conference Roehampton are incredibly excited to have made the decision to use the Google Business Photo service for Parkstead House. This new marketing tool that uses the same technology as Google street maps, enables clients to both view and explore the venue, giving a much better feel than brochures, for what the venue offers.

Philippa & Susan met last week with Kellie Spicknell, a Google Trusted Photographer, to discuss the possibility of creating Business Photos for Parkstead House. Kellie, an experienced photographer, has worked with Google on this new concept on restaurants, shops and children’s play parks such as Hobbledown’s in Epsom.

We took a tour around the site and discussed the various set-ups that we were proposing and Kellie advised us on how many 3600 shots (30) and where were the best places to take them. Our beautiful Cluttons corridor will have five shots taken the length of the corridor displaying the Parkstead archive window display, the Courtyard, the stairwell, and the Burne-Jones windows as well as the corridor itself.

We will take this opportunity to do a bit of a ‘spring clean’ that will include, some painting, cleaning, window-washing and of course, at this time of year, exercising our ‘Billy Goat’!

Philippa Davies, Head of Conferencing Services, said “The great thing about this tool is that the tour opens up Parkstead House to the public, enabling them to see more of a Grade I listed house and its decorative features. The House is not normally open to the general public and throughout the tour the William Chambers’ original ceilings are displayed in their full glory in the first of his residential villas, including one in the catacombs”.

Weather dependent we are planning to shoot the House the week before Christmas and we would like to share this creative journey with you over the next few weeks. Watch this space.............
