Summary:

Set behind the grand houses of Georgian and Victorian London, intimately scaled mews originally served as accommodation for coaches and horses. After the advent of the motorcar in the early twentieth century, these secluded courts and alleys began to be converted for residential use, favoured by artists and bohemians. As they grew in popularity, mews also became popular as sites for new-build homes. Often these were of a radically experimental nature, challenging established notions of domesticity in the heart of the historic city. This book documents 17 examples of this rich tradition dating from the 1960s to the present day, with photography and extensive drawings.
