About This Book

The author surveys a range of nineteenth-century London open-air resorts and tavern gardens, offering concise histories and descriptions of roughly twenty sites, their entertainments, physical layouts, and clientele. He contrasts these later pleasure-grounds with their eighteenth-century predecessors, discusses social patterns and changing tastes, and reconstructs lost details from ephemeral sources such as handbills and newspapers. The book includes an appendix listing many minor gardens, several illustrations, and commentary on the transformation of public-house culture, lamenting the disappearance of garden sociability and proposing café-style alternatives. Each chapter treats a single site, combining topographical notes, anecdote, and documentary fragments.
