Things to include

Alrighty, let's clean up and flesh out this article! Here are some things I think could do with a section:

~~- Demographics- population numbers (DONE), average age, foreign-born population numbers, etc.~~

~~- New building works of the period- not just the post-Fire stuff, but Covent Garden, the Queen's House, Royal Hospital Chelsea, etc.~~

~~- Entertainment/ culture- frost fairs, coffee houses, Restoration theatre (DONE), masques, late Shakespeare, etc.~~

~~- Crime and law enforcement, e.g. Gunpowder Plot, Popish Plot (DONE), execution grounds, London prisons~~

~~- Health and medicine~~

~~- Education~~

~~- Science- development of the Royal Society etc.~~

~~- Trade and industry - the docks, merchants, the development of the Bank of England, connections with the widening Empire and the slave trade, etc~~

~~- Foreign visitors to London? I'm particularly thinking of Pocahontas, but I'm sure there are others.~~

- Depictions in media: films, tv, books etc. set in this period? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JRennocks (talk • contribs) 11:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think if we organise the article by topic rather than chronologically, we can include how, say, the English Civil War, Great Fire, and Glorious Revolution impacted all these things without having to explain them in detail, which is what their own articles are for. I think we also need to mostly shunt off the Great Plague and the Great Fire back into their own respective articles, which I'm sure are plenty thorough on the topic without rehashing them here.

Not sure where to put this, but:

England's first workhouse is set up in London during the Interregnum, with others established over the course of the 1660s.^[1]

Okay, I've done the stuff on the list. I think the last thing is to do a War section about how the Civil War and Glorious Revolution impacted London, since I couldn't find a way to segue into them properly elsewhere. JRennocks (talk) 16:23, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Civil War and Glorious Revolution are done! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JRennocks (talk • contribs) 13:28, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
