Rotten Row. Hyde Park, London. 17th century, it was busy and dangerous, between Kensington Palace and Whitehall. Highwaymen robbed travellers. The courtiers of William III had to run the gauntlet. In 1690 the King ordered the route be lit by 300 oil lamps. One of the first lit highways in England.

Shakespeare wasn't a Lord, wasn't glamorous, wasn't a spy, or a woman

He resembles a particularly successful pork butcher, talking to his family about that year's profits on pork ribs and legs

It's reactionary violence to think that a provincial with low history could not be England's genius

Good news for London’s leaseholders ⤵️

I welcome the government’s introduction of a cap on ground rent. For too long, Londoners have had to struggle with unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges.
Ground rents to be capped at £250 a year for leaseholders
The reforms for England and Wales also include proposals to ban the sale of new leasehold flats.
