More about this scene
In the 1850s, Cheapside was one of the most fashionable shopping streets in London, with a ‘mighty stream of traffic’ flowing through from Oxford Street to Leadenhall and the City. Because of its prestigious reputation and close proximity to the Bank, city financiers clamoured to live here, and annual rents from a single house could reach the incredible sum of three hundred pounds.
