Hampstead Garden Suburb

On Sunday, I did a tour of Hampstead Garden Suburb, a planned "garden village" that was built in the 1900s. It was designed to be a sort of social utopia with all classes living together. Today it costs about a millions pounds to buy a small house. It has a really strict trust-you can't have fences, very specific rules about your windows, house numbers, etc.
