In 1888, Highgate, Kentish Town, and Camden were all rapidly growing neighborhoods in London. These areas were largely residential, with a mix of working-class and middle-class residents.

Highgate was a leafy, affluent suburb that was popular with the upper-middle class. The area was known for its wide, tree-lined streets and elegant Victorian houses, many of which featured large gardens and expansive views of the city. Highgate was also home to several historic landmarks, such as the iconic Highgate Cemetery, which was the final resting place of many famous figures, including Karl Marx.

Kentish Town was a bustling working-class neighborhood that was home to a diverse mix of people, including immigrants from Ireland and Eastern Europe. The area was known for its busy markets, such as the famous Kentish Town Market, which sold a variety of goods, including fresh produce, clothing, and household items. Kentish Town was also home to several pubs and music halls, which were popular gathering places for the local community.

Camden was a vibrant, cosmopolitan neighborhood that was home to a mix of artists, writers, and working-class residents. Camden was also home to several cultural landmarks, such as the iconic Roundhouse, that was built in the mid-19th century as the Great Circular Engine House.

Today, Highgate, Kentish Town, and Camden remain popular neighborhoods in London, each with its own unique character and charm. Highgate is still a leafy, affluent suburb that is popular with the upper-middle class, while Kentish Town and Camden are still vibrant, diverse neighborhoods that are home to a mix of artists, musicians, and working-class residents.
