Published in 1907, this tour of London’s outskirts moves from Hampstead and Highgate through Harrow, Epping Forest, Woolwich and Greenwich, down into Surrey at Croydon and Epsom, and along the Thames from Mortlake to Richmond and Kingston. At every stop the author recalls the houses, writers, courtiers and old stories attached to the place.
A gentle Edwardian portrait of villages since swallowed by the city, for Londoners and lovers of local history. Download the free EPUB.
