This volume starts in the parish of St Giles which grew up around the ancient hospital and church as a leper colony. It moves to Drury Lane and Covent Garden with their immortal theatrical history. Two chapters tell the story of these great theatres. Covent Garden was also a fashionable residential area and many men and women of title and distinction tenanted the famous piazzas.
