Kentish Town is the focus of the author’s forensic and imaginative exploration of one of London’s villages as it transforms from countryside dwellings along the banks of the Fleet river and is gradually absorbed by the metropolis. The advent of the railways was the greatest catalyst for change. Above all, precise examination of this locality opens our understanding of universal themes such as the nature of communities and the roles of the individuals within them.
