About this book
Old houses and changing roads give Thomas Crofton Croker a way into London's local history. Following the route toward Fulham, his account gathers place names, former residents, architectural details, and anecdotes around particular buildings. A crossing of the Kensington Canal leads into Fulham parish, where lanes, taverns, and newly built streets show a landscape in transition.
The collected papers were revised and expanded by Croker's son, whose opening note explains how rapidly familiar places were disappearing. A memoir of the author accompanies the walk. Along the road, a house associated with the illustrator known as Phiz and an unexpected parachute landing add personal stories to the record of streets and villas.
