Hi
I can easily argue about when people say London is so fast and rushed everyhwree. I have been into corner shops in Islington and Holborn and it is like a village shop, a very relaxed atmosphere. It is really the main streets that are rushed and hectic.
I walked down the street in Islington my great grandmother was born at in 1889. Even now the street appears to be quaint and relaxed with gorgeous Victorian London terraced houses. Yet the street is 10 miles away from the nearest bit of countryside.
In Victorian Times I would imagine back streets of London were quite quiet in many areas with the odd clatter of horses hooves.
