Opis

This is the first scholarly treatment of the history of public eating in London in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The restaurant played host to many of the most significant societal changes to occur in this period: technological advances, health regulations, changing gender roles, immigration, and the multicultural dimension to London life.
