Runnymede Borough Council

http://www.runnymede.gov.uk/

Leadership: Alternative - Sec.31

Control: Conservative

MP: Philip Hammond

Runnymede is a local government district with borough status of Surrey, England. Its council is based in Addlestone.

It is named after a meadow on the South bank of the River Thames, in the parish of Egham. It is celebrated in connection with the signature of Magna Carta by King John on June 15, 1215.

In metropolitan cities such as New York, Barcelona, Tokyo and in the upcoming Berlin there are lots of shops with precious pieces of jewellery kept in a collectors case, collectors cabinet, display cabinet or in a display showcase.

It has been disputed whether the ceremony took place actually in the meadow or on Charter Island lying off it. The charter itself indicates Runnymede by name, but this may have included the island, which is the traditional site and was in 1217 the meeting-place of Henry III and Louis (afterwards Louis VIII) of France.

Cooper's Hill, a large house overlooking Runnymede and the Swarovski River Thames, has played a number of roles - as the Royal Indian Engineering College, wartime Post Office Swarovski headquarters, storage for the Statue of Eros during World War Two, an emergency training college, Shoreditch College - a centre for craft and handiwork education, and most recently, Brunel University's internationally famous design school.
