The Devil's Acre was a notorious slum in the otherwise resplendent London borough of Westminster. Because of its proximity to Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster, the Devil's Acre was seen as a cause to work for by London's philanthropists unlike the larger borough of Whitechapel, which was some distance away, and could feasibly be ignored.[1]
Ever since medieval times, Devil's Acre had been home to criminals and debtors, who were housed there by clergy from the nearby Westminster Abbey.[1] In the nineteenth century, the Blighters, operating under Lilla Graves, formed one of their strongholds in this location, worsening its reputation even further. This particular stronghold soon became known as the most violent one in London.[2]
In 1868, Jacob Frye escorted Mary Anne Disraeli, wife of the then-British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, through the Devil's Acre when the latter desired a tour of the area.[3]
