Victorian London | comment |
In the Victorian era, from 1837 until Queen Victoria's death in 1901, Britain's capital was known as "Dirty Old London". Tens of thousands of horses plied the streets, leaving manure and urine everywhere; houses had reeking cesspools under them that filled the Thames with raw sewage; soot and smoke filled the air; and the pea soup makes it difficult to see, but please — mind your step in Whitechapel... London's population increased more than fivefold from the start of the century to the end, so it was overcrowded and congested. The poor lived in a Wretched Hive of slum tenements, pawnshops, taverns, brothels, and Opium Dens, amidst thieves, pickpockets, soot-faced urchins and Cockney flower girls. Merchants sold cheap gin and lurid penny-dreadful stories. The clank of steam-powered machinery from the shipbuilding yards and port echoed in the streets. The power of the wealthy aristocracy was waning, as middle-class merchants became increasingly influential in London, which was Britain's financial center. For the well-off, sexual morals were prudish and pious (at least when they weren't discreetly visiting a member of The Oldest Profession). Men wore hats and suits and smoked pipes in parlor rooms. Women wore corsets and poofy dresses. Fortunately, if you were in trouble (and the situation was suitably intriguing), Sherlock Holmes might take your case, especially if there is a hint that the evil Professor Moriarty was involved. Plebes can refer more mundane matters to the bobbies of Scotland Yard — and no, being maimed by machinery in the workplace doesn't count. Job prospects in the city's sooty factories increased since the Industrial Revolution, at least until 1872 note The highest employment rates recorded in Britain were in 1872, 1943 and 2018, at 76% of the working age population having jobs. After 1872, employment declined. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/compendium/economicreview/april2019/longtermtrendsinukemployment1861to2018 and with late nineteenth century safety reforms, urban jobs, like chimney-sweeping, workhouses, and textile mills weren't so bad as the during the start of the industrial era (even when run by bitter old misers). Would you rather be in the poorhouse? Be wary also of wispy men with capes and strangely pointy teeth, spiritualist cultist con-artists, escaped convicts, mad or mercurial scientists, boarding schools, wide-eyed waifs, serial killers, and suspect meat pies. Also, that strange man you saw might just be your secret uncle's best friend's sister's former roommate's dog. All of which is overseen by Queen Victoria, whose web of agents seemed to have some connection to every sinister conspiracy threading its way through London streets, assuming she's not in their cross hairs. This is a trope that is disturbingly accurate at times. The Victorian Era also happened in the rest of the country, of course, but, as we all know, Britain Is Only London. It (suitably altered) is also the default setting for Steampunk stories or Gaslamp Fantasy. |

Everyone in the main scenario A New Home of Frostpunk come from here, albeit with a Steampunk bent, and as of the start of the game displaced north to the Arctic with an added helping of apocalyptic Endless Winter. The social issues explored in some scenarios of the game, however, very much reflect historical Victorian England, with the desperation of surviving abrupt climate change forcing people of disparate classes to work together—or die ignobly keeping alive old class conflicts. | |

Many Sherlock Holmes adaptations, although almost as many modernize him — even long before the recent TV treatments. Holmes films made in the 1920s were often set in the then-present day.

A not uncommon destination for Doctor Who: "The Evil of the Daleks", "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", "Ghost Light", "The Unquiet Dead", "Tooth and Claw", "The Next Doctor", and "Deep Breath" have all been set in the Victorian era. "A Good Man Goes to War" has a short scene in Victorian London and two characters from the era are prominently featured. Even knockoffs of Victorian London have been seen: "The Ultimate Foe" was set in a simulation of Victorian London (long story), and "A Christmas Carol" was set in Victorian London IN SPACE! Then the Mark Gatiss-penned episode "The Crimson Horror" took us to Victorian Yorkshire. | |
