London is full of lovely terraced housing, a variety of which is occupied by characters in our books. See, for example, Greenery Street (actually Walpole Street in Chelsea), The Victorian Chaise-Longue (a hidden Regency house "back of the railways, down by the canal" in Islington), and Bricks and Mortar (a flat in Gray's Inn Square); not forgetting the real Carlyles whose house on Cheyne Row now belongs to the National Trust, and the real Virginia Woolf et al in many still soot-blackened Bloomsbury terraces and squares such as this, Bedford Square.
