The Ideal Homes: Suburbia in Focus Web site was designed and produced
by the University of Greenwich. Its content was
provided by a dedicated group of librarians, archivists and historians
from London's Boroughs: Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth,
Lewisham and Southwark - and, increasingly, by members of the
public with strong south-east London connections, all around the
world.
Ideal Homes: Suburbia in Focus is an ongoing project and we are
actively seeking your involvement, either by providing new material
or by commenting on the existing content.

There is no charge for this service and all photographs will
