Originally published in 1883 under the title Greater London, and first reprinted 100 years later, this work by a Victorian historian and antiquarian records the history of the hamlets, villages and market towns that made up the metropolitan area before the urban sprawl took over.

Village Press Ltd

This volume starts in the parish of St Giles which grew up around the ancient hospital and church as a leper colony. It moves to Drury Lane and Covent Garden with their immortal theatrical history. Two chapters tell the story of these great theatres. Covent Garden was also a fashionable residential area and many men and women of title and distinction tenanted the famous piazzas.
