London: A Pilgrimage is a book by Gustave Doré first published in 1872. The book enjoyed commercial success, but the work was disliked by many contemporary critics. Some critics were concerned with the fact that Doré appeared to focus on poverty that existed in London. Doré was accused by the Art Journal of "inventing rather than copying." The Westminster Review claimed that "Doré gives us sketches in which the commonest, the vulgarest external features are set down."
London: A Pilgrimage was a financial success, and Doré received commissions from other British publishers.
