This course will take the key essentials and historic landmarks of the growth of London from one to two cities, and then into a world city of millions. The prime aim is to understand the direct legacy which we have inherited today, and literally know where and why the place in which you stand is all created by an evolution stretching back two thousand years, in which the life of London and Londoners has developed. (NB. when reference is made to the City with a capital letter, it is the City of London.)
The role of the City of London as a centre of commerce and trade is entirely due to Rome, whose administration lasted for 350 years. Using the spectacular evidence of archaeology twenty feet below the present land surface, we will see how the topography of the City was determined from the start through the walls and gates, the riverfront port and London Bridge, by a foreign power in a multicultural foundation.
