In this landmark Living History Series, a Victorian Tenement in the heart of London's East End has been painstakingly brought back to life. A group of 21st century people are moving in to experience the tough living and working conditions of the Victorian poor. In a world with no safety net they'll be expected to earn enough to put food on the table, pay their rent and keep the roof over their head. 'The Victorian Slum' charts the story of what life was really like for poor Victorians and through this immersive experience participants and viewers will discover the surprising and complex history that changed Britain's attitude to poverty forever.
