Southern Kensington, Brompton

This volume describes the buildings in the narrow triangle extending from Knightsbridge to the Brompton cemetery between the Brompton Road and the Fulham Road, and from the quiet salubrious backwater of georgian and pre-Georgian days to the prosperous suburb that submerged it, and the bustling outskirts of the metropolis marked by spectacular late-Victorian buildings like Harrods and the Oratory.
