Georgian London: Into the Streets by Lucy Inglis

4.0

I was on course to slap a 5 on this but I lost interest the closer to the end/further out of the city we got - I think, the areas which are indisputably London now (Bethnal green, Whitechapel, Hampstead) would have benefitted from more comparison to how they are today than the idea of them being villages outside of the city that were slowly built up as that’s harder to imagine when what you know is the modern day metropolis...

That said, the early chapters in particular are fantastic - everything about the city, Westminster, Mayfair et al were evocative of the era and full of wonderful (and often funny) historical titbits that I didn’t know.
