The Adam brothers’ Adelphi Terrace, York Buildings and the streets between the Strand and the Thames are walked house by house, with the actors, authors and wits who lodged there. David Garrick’s life and funeral take a central place, alongside Johnson, Topham Beauclerk, Hannah More and a long procession of later residents.
