Step into the foggy streets of Victorian London and discover what life was like for those with no home to return to.

In this quiet episode of Boring History for Sleep, we drift through the hidden corners of the city — from overcrowded workhouses and cold stone doorsteps, to the nightly struggle for food, warmth, and dignity. This is not a story of famous figures, but of the countless forgotten lives that moved through London’s alleys and shadows.

Told slowly and softly, this history explores how poverty shaped the city, and how survival meant enduring both hardship and indifference. Perfect listening for the night, when the past feels close and the world outside grows quiet.

✨ Subscribe for more calm journeys into forgotten history.
