London`s Hidden Corners, Lanes & Squares

London`s Hidden Corners, Lanes & Squares was inspired by Samuel Johnson`s advice to his friend and biographer James Boswell in the 18th century, on the occasion of the latter`s arrival in London: “survey its innumerable little lanes and courts.” These are less numerous in the 21st century than in Dr Johnson`s time, so we`ve extended the great man`s brief to include alleys, squares and yards, along with some roads and streets and the odd green space. The entries range from history-soaked lanes in the City where you half expect to meet one of Charles Dickens`s characters (or even the author himself), to smart, pastel-painted mews in Chelsea that used to stable horses and now house the affluent and wealthy; and from unexpected pockets of Georgian beauty in traffic-plagued central London to tranquil Kensington squares, where you can hear birds singing and almost smell the money.
