The Westminster Corridor is a convenient name for the group of districts which lay in a direct line from Westminster to the northern limits of Hendon. It covers most of the areas now known as the West End of London, with Westminster, Holborn, Soho, Covent Garden, the Strand, Pimlico, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Paddington, Hampstead and Hendon.
The author examines the building of a small monastery on the edge of the Thames, which in time became Westminster Abbey and describes the founding of the Abbey and the lives of its occupants and workers.
