Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume deals with two very different faces of Kensington, the gracious 'Old Court Suburb' including Kensington Square and the area immediately south of Kensington High Street, and the terraced housing and mansion flats that grew up on former market gardens stretching south to Old Brompton Road, ultimately to host the bedsitters of Earl's Court. Both past and existing buildings are described in detail: Kensington House, Batty's Hippodrome in De Vere Gardens, St Mary Abbots Hospital, among much else.
