London Becomes World's Largest City
- When
- 1831–1925
- Where
- London
London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city, with sourced evidence placing this status from approximately 1831 to 1925.
The legacy row claims London took the lead from Beijing in 1825, but the passages state London was the world's largest city from about 1831 to 1925. The 1825 date is treated as a placeholder or error, as no passage confirms a 1825 transition. The sourced timeframe for this demographic milestone is 1831–1925.
