Garratt Green (London)

United Kingdom / England / Swanley-Hextable / London

In the eighteenth century, Garratt was a tiny village in the fields between Wandsworth and Tooting. It had little political significance whatsoever and certainly no parliamentary representative. But from the 1740s to the 1800s mock elections for the fictional office of “Mayor of Garratt” attracted huge crowds to this tiny (now vanished) South London hamlet.
