Hampstead Garden Suburb, in north west London, England, is an example of early 20th Century domestic architecture and town planning.
It was founded in 1907 by Henrietta Barnett,who, with her husband, Canon Barnett , had started Whitechapel Art Gallery and Toynbee Hall. Among the scheme’s aims were . . .
- it should cater for all classes of people, and all income groups
- there should be a low housing density
- roads should be wide, and tree-lined
- houses should be separated by hedges, not walls
- woods and public gardens should be free to all
- it should be quiet (no church bells)
All this needed a Private Bill before Parliament as it was counter to local bye-laws .
