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.
DAYS AND EVENINGS OUT - LECTURE
With money and time to spend the middle classes enjoyed an unlimited range of entertainment. This lecture will show the pleasure gardens of Vauxhall and Cremorne, Astleyâs amphitheatre and the Zoological Gardens, the panoramas and dioramas, the displays at the Egyptian Hall, the building of the Albert Hall, music, theatre and that most working class outlet: the music hall.
