London became the largest port in the world during the 19th century, particularly in the mid-1800s, as it expanded rapidly due to the Industrial Revolution. The port's strategic location on the River Thames facilitated trade and commerce, allowing it to handle vast quantities of goods and passengers. By the late 1800s, it was the leading global port, a status it maintained until the early 20th century.
