Notes: How London has been shaped, by the rich, their developers, the Great Fire, and the various communities : patricians in St. James and Belgravia, Jews settling in Hampstead and Bayswater, colonials and nabobs in Marylebone. The grwoth of the city is also seen as a consequence of its growing prosperity, colonising surrounding villages and agricultural land with new housing and market gardens. Also we see a shifting population seeking to escape pollution and overcrowding, and cycles of development and decline.
