If the parks be “the lungs of London” we wonder what Greenwich Fair is – a periodical breaking out, we suppose — a sort of spring rash.

That fair must have seemed to be quite a big deal at the time. It had to be stopped in 1857 due to local upset at all the shenanigans and rowdiness.
Best wishes, Pete.

I’ve never heard of that fair, mind you as kids we would go to Barnet Fair every year.

I only read about it in history books. Even I am not old enough to have ever been to the actual fair! 👴
