- Complex Interior Spaces in London, 1850–1930 is a special issue of The London Journal: A Review of Metropolitan Society, Past and Present co-edited by Fiona Fisher, Victoria Kelley, Patricia Lara-Betancourt and Penny Sparke. Sparke co-conceived the issue, co-authored the introduction and contributed a sole authored essay ‘“Covered Promenades for Wet Weather”: London’s Winter Gardens and People’s Palaces’. This special issue makes interventions into the cognate disciplines of architectural history, design history, urban history, studies of material and spatial culture, social history and the history of popular culture, contributing a new body of specialist knowledge and range of insights to all of them. The research was both archive-based and rooted in the secondary literature that exists in the above fields. The jointly authored ‘Introduction’ explores the over-arching themes that are subsequently developed by the five authors’ articles, which focus on a range of different types of (as described in this special issue) ‘complex ’indoor spaces. Open markets, railway stations, department stores, winter gardens, people’s palaces and a hospital are all addressed in this issue. The researcher’s single author essay uses three newly researched case-studies of winter gardens and people’s palaces in order to demonstrate the broader picture of the expansion of popular leisure in London in the late nineteenth century and its two-way interactions with the new forms of spatial/material culture that supported it.
