Summary
Bordered by Brixton in one direction and Peckham in another Camberwell is very much the inner city yet at its heart lies the Grove; a broad, tree-lined street made up of some of the finest Georgian architecture in London. This documentary reveals how the elegant houses of the Grove were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as rural retreats for a newly termed group, the middle classes. But the unprecedented expansion of London in the Victorian era meant the city engulfed the Grove. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) PG CC
