"Cremorne and the Later London Gardens" by Warwick William Wroth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of pleasure gardens in London, particularly focusing on the Cremorne Gardens and similar establishments that flourished in the 19th century. The narrative delves into the cultural significance and societal aspects of these gardens, contrasting them with the renowned pleasure gardens of the previous century. The opening of the volume sets the stage with a historical background of Cremorne Gardens, describing its transformation from a private estate into a public pleasure garden. It introduces the main figures, including Charles Random de Berenger, who established the original Stadium at Cremorne, and later the Baron Nicholson, who transformed it into a bustling amusement venue. The text paints a vivid picture of the activities and attractions that defined these gardens—ranging from balloon ascents and theatrical performances to the socio-economic class of the patrons who frequented the gardens, emphasizing the changing landscape of entertainment and societal norms in London during the 19th century.
