The highlights of the 175th anniversary of King's College London (2004)Peter Graham
In 2004 King's College London commemorated this historic milestone with a year-long programme of events and celebrations. The theme emphasised the College's work 'in the service of society' and included lectures by high profile alumni such as Desmond Tutu; a recreation of the duel in 1829 which led to the founding of the College; and a magnificent service of thanksgiving in Westminster Abbey attended by over 2000 people.
This A0 (download recommended) poster was created to showcase the highlights of this very special year in the history of King's.
The document summarizes the urbanization of London from the 18th century to the early 20th century. It describes how London grew rapidly due to industrialization and colonial expansion, reaching a population of 4 million by 1880. This growth led to overcrowding, poverty, and crime in the city. Efforts were later made to address issues like public health, housing, transportation, and workers' rights through actions like building new housing, establishing parks, developing the underground railway system, and passing legislation on child labor and working hours. The urbanization of London significantly impacted society and led to changes in families, gender roles, and the rise of social movements seeking political and economic reforms.

Key events included the banning of the Welsh language in legal systems, the Rebecca Riots protesting toll fees, and the flooding of the Welsh village of Capel Celyn to create a reservoir for Liverpool.
