“When the number of charming residential localities that exist around London is taken into consideration, it is a remarkable fact that so many thousands of people are content to reside in those monotonous, dreary streets of uninspired houses that constitute the average suburban district.\u00a0 It is the more remarkable that they spend their lives in deprecating the suburban spirit, yet never essay to wander a little further afield and seek out for themselves one or other of those innumerable delightful estates that are springing up on the outer fringe of the Metropolis, and which offer to the town-tied man and his family the peace and tranquility of the country village.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most delightful of such places is Knebworth, so near to London as to be easily accessible, yet so far away as to be quite removed from the ceaseless activity and baneful influences of city life.\u00a0 It is quiet, but never dull; and has in it, or near it, such facilities for education, sport and pastime, and so much of good housing accommodation that the City man would needs confess to a grievous fault if he did not, at some time or other, give it his earnest consideration.”<\/em><\/p>\n
