London's old buildings hold a wealth of clues to the city's rich and vibrant past. The histories of some, such as the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, are well documented. However, these magnificent, world-renowned attractions are not the only places with fascinating tales to tell. Down a narrow, medieval lane on the outskirts of Smithfield stands 41–42 Cloth Fair – the oldest house in the City of London. Fiona Rule uncovers the fascinating survival story of this extraordinary property and the people who owned it and lived in it, set against the backdrop of an ever-changing city that has prevailed over war, disease, fire and economic crises.

Brixton is one of the country's most notorious prisons. It is London's oldest and 2019 will mark its 200th anniversary. The House on the Hill tells the story of this remarkable institution, which popularised the dreaded treadmill, was the first women's prison, acted as London's remand jail for most of the last century and today is home to the Clink restaurant and National Prison Radio. But it also recalls the colourful lives of some of its residents - among them terrorists, mass murderers, spies, politicians and rock stars.

"London has an amazing range of houses regularly open to the public, and this book covers them all. The oldest here is 14th-century Headstone Manor in Harrow; the most recent is 9/10 Stock Orchard Street in Islington, an 'on-going' project. Architects from Inigo Jones and Robert Adam via John Soane and Philip Webb to Erno Goldfinger are represented. In social terms, the spectrum runs from the destitute who filled the workhouse now known as Vestry House in Walthamstow, though servants and the bourgeoisie to aristocrats and royalty busily building and coupling in Kensington and Twickenham. With architectural and social history, biographics and practical information, this book provides everything visitors need to plan a trip back through the centuries."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"This magnificent book, the fullest account ever written on its absorbing subject, will come as a revelation, even to those who think they know London, for many of the great town mansions featured in it, a good number of which are still in private occupation, are very little known and have never been illustrated before… a major contribution to British architectural and social history." - Professor David Watkin, Professor Emeritus, Department of History of Art, University of Cambridge The great houses of London represent one of the marvels of English architecture and yet they are almost entirely unknown. They are for the most part disguised behind sober facades but their riches within are astonishing. From the romantic 17th century Ashburnham House, nestling in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, through the splendid 18th century aristocratic palaces of the West End, to the curious and quirky arts and crafts houses of Holland Park and Kensington, to the cool modernist houses of Hampstead and the exuberant post-modern interiors of the last thirty years, every house has its own story to tell.

Excerpt from Memorable London Houses: A Handy Guide; With Illustrative Anecdotes and a Reference Plan The re ection that many residents in, and visitors to London must, as they walk through its streets, desiderate a simple and easy means of identifying houses in which have lived those who have made a name in history; those whose works, literary, artistic, or scientific, continue to delight and instruct us; or those Whose genius tra dition has rendered famous, supplied to the author the motive for this little work. The interest is distinctly residential - taverns, coffee houses, and club-houses are not included; moreover, the houses of the great, in the sense in which the term is applied to mere rank and fashion, have no place, nor will any Romance of the Peerage be found in these pages.

Amid the bustling streets of Spitalfields, East London, there is a piece of real estate with a bloody history. This was once Dorset Street: the haunt of thieves, murderers and prostitutes; the sanctuary of persecuted people; the last resort for those who couldn't afford anything else – and the setting for Jack the Ripper's murderous spree. So notorious was this street in the 1890s that policemen would only patrol this area in pairs for their own safety. This book chronicles the rise and fall of this remarkable street; from its promising beginnings at the centre of the seventeenth-century silk weaving industry, through its gradual descent into iniquity, vice and violence; and finally its demise at the hands of the demolition crew. Meet the colourful characters who called Dorset Street home.
