Useful Titles

  • Survey of London
    Call Number: UMass DA 675 .S87
    Each of the volumes in this series is devoted to a specific area of London and includes information on places of entertainment (esp. the history of the institution and building). They're hard to find in the catalog, since UMass doesn't itemize the volumes. See next link, plus the two volumes below.
