First published in 1794 as part of his 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' collection, William Blake's poem 'London' explores the cruel and harsh realities of poverty during George III's reign.
The poem 'London' is part of the Power and Conflict collection studied on the AQA GCSE literature syllabus. The video is a helpful study tool, illustrating the imagery and themes within the poem alongside the text.

I wander through each charted street
Near where the charted Thames does flow
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness
Marks of woe
In every cry of every man
In every infants cry of fear
In every voice
In every ban
The mind forged manacles I hear
How the chimney sweepers cry
Every blackening church appalls
And the hapless soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down palace walls
But most through midnights street I hear
How the youthful harlots curse
Blast the newborn infants tear
And blights which plagues the Marriage hearse
