Key learning points: - Victorian London was noisy, overcrowded and diverse, with people from various cultural backgrounds and social classes. - The Industrial Revolution transformed the city, worsening pollution and widening the class divide. - The poor lived in cramped, unsanitary conditions, with little support available to improve their lives. - Dickens campaigned for social reform and the novella encouraged middle-class readers to show compassion for the poor. - Descriptions of the setting foreshadow how this ghost story exposes the harsh realities of poverty in Victorian London.\n
