“ Top of the heap in this kind of London probably comes News from Nowhere by the great reformer and designer William Morris. After the customary nap, our hero awakes to find that the Thames is running clear and the buildings along its banks have been transformed into glorious works of art. The binmen wear bright clothes and sing as they go about their work. Children camp in the Kensington Woods. The Houses of Parliament have been turned into a vegetable market. ”
