John Betjeman and the Battle of Bedford Park

You can find a short summary of John Betjeman’s involvement in helping save Bedford Park in the 1960s, recently published on the Chiswick Calendar website.

We provided the story as a supplement to the Society’s Annual Betjeman Lecture held in September to give additional information on how much today’s residents owe Betjeman for bringing his public fame to the “battle” to save Bedford Park and for keeping it in the public eye.
