Across the city the situation was very different. In the west a new city was growing, populated by the middle classes, the epitome of 'Victorian values'. In 1888 London was the capital of the most powerful empire the world had ever known, and the largest city in Europe. Using the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper as a focal point, this book explores prostitution, poverty.
The East End of London had long been considered a nether world, a dark and dangerous region outside the symbolic 'walls' of the original City.
