Booth's poverty map of Kennington and South Lambeth (1898)

Charles Booth's classification of London just before the turn of the twentieth century was thorough if opinionated.

The streets marked in the darkest colour indicates inhabitants who are 'vicious and semi-criminal'. This section of south London has very little yellow where the 'upper middle and upper classes' hung out.
