Description
Providing a wide ranging view of London's northward expansion, from the dense streets of Seven Dials north of Covent Garden and the formal Georgian squares of Bloomsbury now interleaved with university buildings, through the attractive hill towns of Hampstead and Highgate, to the 20th century suburbs extending to the greenbelt countryside beyond. Key monuments surveyed include the British Museum, the new British Library, and the great railway termini on Euston Road. London's earliest remaining Victorian working class housing, the idealistic Hampstead Garden Suburb and radical 1960s essays in urban restructuring are varied testimony to over a century of urban renewal. Old and new stand side by side in regenerated former industrial areas of Shoreditch, Hackney and Clerkenwell close to the City; Victorian and Edwardian centres from Camden Town to Muswell Hill proclaim their identity through dignified civic architecture and distinctive churches; further out, lost rural Middlesex is recalled by a scatter of country mansions, villas and farmhouses among the demure streets of 20th century commuter suburbs.
