Charles Lethbridge Kingsford traces the early development of several adjoining districts of London, using a plan drawn in 1585 as a starting point. Roads, estates, houses and their occupants reveal how the area changed before its familiar modern identity emerged.
Documentary records and maps connect particular properties with the people who owned, occupied or developed them. The discussion follows the growth of Piccadilly, Leicester Square, Soho and nearby streets in detail. This complete historical study preserves its illustrations, documentary material, footnotes and index.
