Where better a place to discover the streets of London
without taking a trip to the Bazaar or marketplace that the Victorians went to
find all the nick-knacks and doohickeys they made need throughout the day.
According to Household Words Volume III the market place contains shop owners
who care more about their political stance then their shops which is the reason
for so many empty curiosity stores. The shops that are open can typically be
found with the owners out in the street awaiting their next customer and
possibly greeting their neighbor across the street or next door. The high
pillars and Cathedral like ceilings present the Bazaar to be a place of
prestige and wealth. People would come from all over to perfume various types
of business in this common place aand would travel using stagecoach and horses
to maneuver through the streets and thus allow them to conduct their intended
business at the Bazaar.
