London, The Strand 1890

More about this scene
From early morning until midnight, The Strand is London’s busiest street and invariably congested with traffic. It was originally the waterside thoroughfare between the City and Westminster, and it is from this that it derives its name. In earlier days The Strand was a threatening neighbourhood, and many travellers preferred to take a boat rather than pick their way along the ill-paved street and be jostled by pickpockets.
