  • This is a brilliant social history of London done in a wonderful visual manner

    One of the best book content of the social history of London in the 19th century. The addition of period photographs really hammers home just how awful the poverty was in the less salubrious parts of London. The road I used to live on is coloured black. When I lived there is wasn't a wealthy road by any means but all of the houses had indoor bathrooms/toilets, central heating and electricity/gas. It was just my family of four. The only indication of how poor the houses were was the very shallow foundations which allowed mice to move from house to house with great ease and in my 9 years there, they were a constant problem. This book, is a coffee table sized one, is one you can pour over for absolutely hours at a time. Even my Welsh born granddaughter who has only visited London once in her 14 years found it immensely interesting.

  • Charles Booths London Poverty Maps

    The book was bought as a present for a family member doing family history of our forebears who came to South London in the 1870's. The gift has been very well received and for once I bought an appropriate present. I did not get a look at the book myself, as it was sealed by the publisher but I was impressed with book as I have some knowledge of the contents that shortly I will purchase my own copy.

  • Very large book, full of interesting facts.

    Useful and interesting for my own London family history. Great to be able to relate census address data to the relative poverty/wealth of people in the streets in which my ancestors lived. Note: you will need a magnifying glass to read the maps.
