What Was Travel Like in Victorian London?

A forty-minute documentary exploring how people moved through London during the reign of Queen Victoria, from the walking city of 1837 to the electric underground of 1890. The central tension is a city growing faster than any transport system can serve it, a population quadrupling in six decades while the streets drown in horse manure and fog. Viewers will discover how every mode of transport, from the omnibus to the safety bicycle, reshaped class, gender, and the physical geography of the world's largest city.
