St Johns Wood

I took a guided tour today of St Johns Wood. It's in North London, just to the north of Regent's Park. Abbey Road Studios are in St Johns Wood. Obviously a really expensive part of town to live in, the area was mainly developed in the 1830s and 1840s.

A typical street in the area
Church of St. Michael's- built in 1847
A mock Gothic cottage
A public park made out of the churchyard of the parish church- yet another plague pit
A view of the parish church of St. Johns Wood

Roses from the park
