The garden suburb has its origins in London, and, contrary to
widespread belief, its earliest phase took place not at the
beginning of the 20th century, with the much discussed garden-city
movement, but one century earlier, with the creation of the Eyre
brothers' villa estate in the London suburb of St. John's Wood.
Drawing on the resources of the newly catalogued Eyre archive,
Mireille Galinou describes how London acquired one of its most
attractive and influential suburbs and how generations of the Eyre
family shaped, fought over, lost, and revitalized their
inheritance. Little did they know that they were making world
history with their winning formula, which set the green suburb
agenda for middle classes around the world.
