London as a Health Resort and Climate Variations
London offers a varied climate affecting invalids differently by district. Hampstead, Battersea, Chelsea, and Kensington are notably mild or bracing, with Brompton once the healthiest. The Edgware Road to Tottenham Court Road area is among the healthiest, while Brixton, Clapham, and Tooting are less favorable. Bayswater and Kilburn show notable contrasts in income and damp soils impact rheumatic conditions.
