🏚️ VICTORIAN SLUMS: THE HORRIFYING LIVES THEY TRIED TO ERASE FROM HISTORY
In 1889, a journalist walked into a London basement and found 43 people living in a space meant for storing coal. A dead infant had been in the corner for three days. This wasn't unusual. This was just... a Tuesday in Victorian London's slums.
Tonight, we're taking a long, quiet journey into the forgotten lives of Victorian England's poorest people. Not the fancy ballrooms and tea parties you see in movies — this is the REAL story of how 90% of Londoners actually lived during the height of the British Empire.
