In 1888, London's East End was riddled with prostitutes. The locals survived on a pittance, making money by cobbling together boots, making matches and skinning rabbits.

Whitechapel and Spitalfields' green spaces were filled with homeless people every night, and the area's formerly-grand Huguenot houses were crammed full of families, each sharing a room.
