How did people live in the great Imperial City? 1837-1901 was a period of radical change: suburbs, industry, commerce, speed, immigration and new lifestyles. Despite the emergence of a solid middle class, there were appalling divisions in the class structure. But so outstanding was progress that much of Victorian achievement remains the infrastructure of London today.
LIMEHOUSE - WALK
The great Victorian docks developed the waterfront of erstwhile villages into the grand conurbation of Docklands. Since the closure of the docks in the 1960s much rehabilitation has taken place, while retaining many of the old buildings. Limehouse retains atmosphere along the river front with its warehouses, the junction of the Thames and the canal at the Regents Canal Dock, and Nicholas Hawksmoor’s St. Anne’s church (1730), one of his three great East End churches.
