Victorian London
Dickensian-era capital city
Victorian London refers to London during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), evoking a distinct atmosphere of fog-shrouded streets, gas lamps, horse-drawn carriages, and stark contrasts between wealth and poverty.
The term conjures images of top hats and crinolines alongside Dickensian slums, Jack the Ripper, and cholera epidemics.
The novel captures Victorian London in all its grimy splendor.
