Description
Description
An illuminating and richly rewarding study of London's Kentish Town that follows its growth from a scattering of cottages to what is now a thickly populated working class district. along the way, this pre-Roman pack horse track became a medieval parish, prosperous Tudor village, 18th century resort of pleasure gardens, and a select residential suburb.
