This anthology has one simple goal: to give the reader a flavour of ‚how life was lived’ in Victorian London, through the words of the Victorians themselves. It is not a comprehensive study; but I have revisited an archive of ten years’ reading and research — nineteenth century diaries, newspapers, magazines, memoirs, guidebooks — in an attempt to include as many diverse aspects of Victorian life as possible. There is, I must admit, a certain bias in my choice of material: I concentrate on the poor and middle-class. Queen Victoria is glimpsed at a distance, in Hyde Park; MPs and members of the aristocracy appear as the patrons of charities; but this is a book about the everyday.
