How did clothing styles in London change between the early and late 19th century?

I've been looking up pictures of 19th century Londoners, but I have no idea how to tell if they are from 1810, 1840, or 1870.

That is an extremely broad question. Fashion changed rapidly year by year, to the point where most images can be dated within a five year period. Are you looking at men, women, or both? A particular class of people? Working dress, fashionable dress, formal, etc? Any links to the images you've been exploring would be helpful as well. The V&A has a very general intro to 19th century fashion.
