    During the Victorian era in London, the population grew dramatically from 1,010,000 to 3,300,000 people due to high fertility rates and immigration. The mortality rate depended on class, with the upper class having lower rates. Around 75% of London's population was made up of immigrants from places like Russia, Poland and Sweden. The population was divided into three social classes: the upper class who inherited wealth and land, the middle class of bankers and shopkeepers, and the lower working class who lived in poor conditions and child labor was common. Many advances were also made in medicine, technology, and culture during this time period of growth and change in Victorian London.
