Well not compared to the 19th century.

You could be hung for stealing a load of bread in 19th century London.

hanged.

i have nothing else useful to contribute.

Not true. The death penalty had been abolished for stealing and shoplifting by 1823 and even before then it was only for very expensive items.

Someone's got some homework to do :)

No you wouldn't be, if you stole some bread the worst punishment they could think of was sending you to Australia.

I know I would steal a loaf of Kingsmill if that was the deal today!

A lot of horse shit lying around

London would have had extremes of rich and poor, beggers and valets, drunks and gentlemen. It was a dirty crowded booming commerical city at the cutting edge of development and at the centre of rapidly expanding global trade. So what's changed? ;)

wrong thread.

whats in the wrong thread^^

How do you think London Life style was in the middle of the 18th and 19th century??????

It's lifestyle, not life style...

whats in the wrong thread^^Well it does seem rather odd that you have started a thread asking for photos and articles about the lifestyle of 18th and 19th century London and then gone and posted a whole stream of photos of contemporary London. None of your photos are relevant to the subject matter.

Interesting thread. Read Charles Dickins. I dont think life can have been much for the average joe.
