About Victorian London: The World’s Greatest City

Step back in time to an era when London stood at the pinnacle of global power and influence. In 1851, the city was not only the largest in Europe but the heart of the greatest empire the world had ever known. Its population had tripled in just fifty years, and its rapid expansion reflected the ambition and dynamism of the Victorian age.

Join Tim Potter, our regular guest speaker and TV presenter, for his latest talk in the London History Series as he unpacks the remarkable achievements of Victorian London. From its artistic triumphs to its social and political complexities, Tim will delve into the forces that shaped the city during this extraordinary period.

This lecture will also highlight the Great Exhibition of 1851, often considered the crowning moment of Victorian London’s power and innovation. Discover what this spectacular event reveals about the city’s industrial ingenuity, cultural aspirations, and the wider concerns of the age.
