Kentish Town is an area of north London very close to where I live, and after I read this book I found that I viewed the streets there completely differently. The author had stripped away the years and shown me "the fields beneath". I could understand why the streets follow the routes they do, why certain streets have the names they do. This is a great read for anyone who is interested in local history even if they are not familiar with Kentish Town, it shows how you have to look at familiar places from a different perspective.

An illuminating and richly rewarding study of London's Kentish Town that follows its growth from a scattering of cottages to what is now a thickly populated working class district. along the way, this pre-Roman pack horse track became a medieval parish, prosperous Tudor village, 18th century resort of pleasure gardens, and a select residential suburb.
