London County Council was a laboratory for social experimentation as the world's largest municipal government sought to master the problems of metropolitan amelioration, political economy and public culture. This social history tests the vision of London progressivism against its practitioners' accomplishments. It argues that the historical memory of the hopes vested in local government and the disillusions spawned by failure are major forces in today's deeply ambivalent response to metropolitan politics in London.
