We head back in time to find out how different London looked in 1891 and go through some of the city’s achievements to get a glimpse of what life was like in the capital. We explore the architectural legacy of Victorian London, see how the introduction of the railway changed the city and chat about Charles Booth’s pioneering study into Victorian Londoners’ quality of life. Plus: we take a tour around the country’s first council estate.
