London's Railways—Their Contribution to Solving the Problem of Growth and Expansion

Abstract

. So although London was much smaller than Tokyo at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in later years, London was the larger city 2 . As London’s population grew, so did the geographical extent of the capital from about 25 square miles in the 1840s to over 100 square miles in 1900 3 . With this growth in population and area, it is not surprising that many of Britain’s transport problems appeared first and most acutely in London. Unlike much of the UK’s rail network, London’s railways were subject to government planning, even if this was more negative than positive in character 4
