Victorian London was the epicentre of a boom in Britain’s national prosperity. But this success had a human cost. Poverty and exploitation accompanied London’s financial rise.

Meet me outside Aldgate Station on Aldgate High Street. The tour will take approximately two hours, and finishes by Spitalfields Market.
