====England==== After leaving Russia, Pavlova moved to [[London]], England, settling, in 1912, at the Ivy House on [[North End Road, Golders Green|North End Road]], [[Golders Green]], north of [[Hampstead Heath]], where she lived for the rest of her life.<ref>{{cite web |language = ru |url =https://ria.ru/20160212/1372581176.html |title = Биография балерины Анны Павловой |trans-title=Anna Pavlova: Biography |publisher =RIA Novosti |date = 12 February 2016 |access-date = 7 December 2020 }}</ref> The house had an ornamental lake where she fed her pet swans, and where now stands a statue of her by the Scots sculptor [[George Henry Paulin]]. The house was featured in the film ''[[Anna Pavlova (film)|Anna Pavlova]]''. It used to be the [[London Jewish Cultural Centre]], but a [[blue plaque]] marks it as a site of significant historical interest being Pavlova's home.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3448/3861001065_d9417660b3.jpg|title=Blue plaque, Hendon Corporation|website=Farm4.static.flickr.com|access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ljcc.org.uk/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001206215500/http://www.ljcc.org.uk/|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 December 2000|title=London Jewish Cultural Centre – Now Booking|publisher=[[London Jewish Cultural Centre]]|access-date=5 May 2012}}</ref> While in London, Pavlova was influential in the development of British ballet, most notably inspiring the career of [[Alicia Markova]]. The Gate public house (https://thegatearkley.co.uk) located on the border of [[Arkley]] and [[Totteridge]] (London Borough of Barnet), has a story, framed on its walls, describing a visit by Pavlova and her dance company. There are at least five memorials to Pavlova in London, England: a contemporary sculpture by Tom Merrifield of Pavlova as the Dragonfly in the grounds of Ivy House, a sculpture by Scot [[George Henry Paulin]] in the middle of the Ivy House pond, a blue plaque on the front of Ivy House, a statuette sitting with the urn that holds her ashes in Golders Green Crematorium and the gilded statue atop the Victoria Palace Theatre.<ref>[https://londonist.com/2012/06/ballerinas-meringues-pavlova-2012-ivy-house "Ballerinas & Meringues: Pavlova 2012 @ Ivy House"], [[Londonist.com]], 15 June 2012.

This was taken down for its safety during [[World War II]] and was lost. In 2006, a replica of the original statue was restored in its place.<ref>[http://city-of-london.com/london-theatres-victoria-palace.html City-of-London.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813154838/http://city-of-london.com/london-theatres-victoria-palace.html|date=13 August 2011}} Retrieved 27 March 2011.</ref> In 1928, Anna Pavlova engaged St. Petersburg conductor Efrem Kurtz to accompany her dancing, which he did until her death in 1931. During the last five years of her life, one of her soloists, [[Cleo Nordi]], another St Petersburg ballerina, became her dedicated assistant, having left the [[Paris Opera Ballet]] in 1926 to join her company and accompanied her on her second Australian tour to [[Adelaide]], [[Brisbane]] and [[Sydney]] in 1929.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pavlova and her retinue emerging from Brisbane station, in ''Early Ballet in Queensland'', John Oxley Library|url=http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/2016/09/26/early-ballet-in-queensland/|website=Blogs.slq.qld.gov.au |date=26 September 2016|access-date=2 February 2019}}</ref> On the way back on board ship, Nordi married Pavlova's British musical director, Walford Hyden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.forum-dansomanie.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=465&sid=4ad6c0b403cf0784b19f7ae2673c9174|title=Dansomanie :: Voir le sujet - Timely recollections of Anna Pavlova, by her associates|website=Forum-dansomanie.net|access-date=14 December 2021}}</ref> Nordi kept Pavlova's flame burning in London, well into the 1970s, where she tutored hundreds of pupils including many ballet stars.
