Description
Discover the vibrant and eclectic history of London, from its humble beginnings as an Anglo-Saxon settlement to its rise as a major trading centre in the Middle Ages.
London's transformation was shaped by various invasions and occupations, including the Viking raids and the Norman conquest. Despite its turbulent past, the city remained a hub of commerce, finance, and culture, as evident in the Lord Mayor's annual river pageant and the construction of iconic landmarks like the Tower.
Yet, beneath the pageantry and grandeur, everyday life in medieval London was marked by the same concerns and challenges faced by ordinary people today: family problems, work worries, health concerns, and the uncertainties of the weather.
