The year is 1983, and Thatcherism in Britain surges on. Amidst the new materialism and social upheaval, a small counterculture revolution quietly unfolds in a large, terraced house in West London. 28 St Stephen's Gardens is Jon Lys Turner's immersive and unforgettable memoir of that place-a sanctuary where outsiders, artists, and rule-breakers gathered to live, create, and resist. It is also a love letter to a bygone era, and a tribute to the resilience, talent, and spirit of its unforgettable inhabitants. 28 Stephen's Gardens asks urgent questions about what we lose when creative sanctuaries are under threat and reminds us that their impact still ripples through contemporary art, fashion, and culture. This is a vibrant cultural memoir, serious social history, a celebration of creative defiance, and an elegy to a London and a spirit that can never be replicated.
