Golders Green & Hampstead Garden Suburb

- Visions of Arcadia

Bag om Golders Green & Hampstead Garden Suburb

Golders Green was once a rustic part of the Middlesex countryside, a peaceful place isolated from London by a range of hills. From 1907 onwards, the district grew rapidly and soon became a busy transport hub, a thriving shopping area, and a sprawling suburb. Simultaneously, the fields and woods immediately east of Golders Green were developed by idealists hoping to establish a community without social barriers - they created the Hampstead Garden Suburb. In this book, Adam Yamey, who spent the first three decades of his life in these places, explores their past and present. His account is interspersed with memories of the area in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. This richly illustrated volume will interest visitors as well as people who live (or have lived) in the area.
