    By using that rationale, there were never any slums in London and Dickens must have got it wrong in his stories.

    Exactly...

    Replying to @DavidOlusoga
    Plenty of houses in London, e.g Notting Hill, were slums and houses multiple families, now converted and worth millions of pounds. The Times should really learn their history before getting into a row with a historian.

    According a stilly review in The Times the house in my new series, A House Through Time 'was never a slum and would now sell for £500,000' That will come as news to people who lived in single rooms when it was a post-war tenement? How can the modern price determine its history?
