As part of the refurbishment of the Lyric, Hammersmith BID, – the Business Improvement District group of which Tom was a board member – took the opportunity to sponsor and dedicate one of the Main House boxes to Tom, and the unveiling was held on 29 October.
Liz Ryland, with Charles Dori12n and Ghada Al-Madfai, both members of the West London Architects Society (WLAS)
The dedicatory plaque and box are shown, with Liz Ryland seated in the foreground – the box itself is a delightful feature of the theatre’s Victorian interior. It is a very fitting memorial to Tom, who greatly enjoyed the theatre and was very supportive of the Lyric.
As one of the ways in which The Hammersmith Society will be commemorating Tom, we plan to erect a bench dedicated to him at a location along the Hammersmith riverside. We know that among the members of the Society there were personal friends of Tom’s, and if you would like to make a donation to the cost of the bench, do please contact Melanie Whitlock (ku.gr1558694853o.yte1558694853icosh1558694853timsr1558694853emmah1558694853@namr1558694853iahc.1558694853eciv1558694853).

As reported in my last News Update, another Listed building to be refurbished is the main auditorium at the Lyric.- Published: 24 Nov 2017
Now that the Lyric have completed the latest round of expansion and building works, they are looking to overhaul the main auditorium and studio spaces. They have asked us to be involved in consultations which will commence in the New Year. This is obviously important to the Hammersmith Society which played such an important role in saving the theatre from destruction back in the 1970s.

@centreforlondon @ben_rog @lgcplus Absolutely! We've been saying this for a while, from problematic consultations to meaningful engagement with community groups such as ourselves in the #planning process. Some of our elders remember Skeffington c. 1969! hammersmithsociety.org.uk/history/the-ha…

The ex-Chair of #HS2 also said it should terminate at Old Oak. With so many routes being shoved down that rail corridor (Great Western, commuters, HEX & now #Crossrail) it's not surprising.
