Acknowledgements

Many people have contributed in many ways to this book. First and foremost, of course, are the individual authors who have in some cases separately acknowledged help received in their endnotes. The editors and publishers would like particularly to thank a few whose contributions have been more general. Professor Matthew Davies and Olwen Myhill at the Institute of Historical Research were instrumental in bringing about and hosting the June 2013 conference from which this book arises. At the Bartlett School of Architecture in University College London, the Bartlett Faculty Vice-Dean of Research Professor Murray Fraser, Luis Rego and Mark Burgess have been supportive. UCL’s Urban Laboratory was also an influential partner. Professor Andrew Saint, General Editor of the Survey of London, has been a long-term source of wisdom for both editors. His contribution to this book extends well beyond his foreword. Helen Jones, also at the Survey of London, has almost effortlessly produced all the book’s drawings, and Joanna Smith at Historic England has read drafts and made helpful comments. Christine Wagg not only advised on text but also generously facilitated Peabody sponsorship.
