Cremorne and the Later London Gardens, by Warwick Wroth 43526 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/3/5/2/43526 ] [Files: 43526-0.txt; 43526-h.htm] Pleasure gardens florished in London until the latter half of the 1800's - they were places which put on entertainment, often dancing, had gardens you could walk round, and, most importantly, you could sit down whilst you drank. Cremorne, in Chelsea, was the most notorious of these, and its name appears repeatedly in the Police Court records, the local Vestry minutes (they wanted it shut down) etc. Wroth was an expert on such gardens and this is a readable book covering many of them during the 1800's. They have all now gone, but their names often linger in street names etc. All the best, David, Early morning, no sun yet, but warm and the skies clear
