12th January 1882 saw the first public electricity in London. At first the supply was limited. But during the following years, the service was improved and before too long many miles of wire was connecting homes to electric power stations. And wherever the electric supply cannot reach, a supply can be obtained with batteries or generators so that electricity can come into all our homes today.
