Where is it?
Two maps to help you find your way about
If you would like
to know where you are in Roman London - here are two maps to show
you where all the sites are - and what happened when the Saxons came.
|
|
| Roman London was established on the north side
of the River Thames. A new bridge was built over the river and
excavations at Southwark south of the river, on the new Jubilee
line, have revealed evidence for burning by Boudica in AD 60. |
|
|
When Roman London was abandoned, a new settlement was
established further up river, at Lundenwic. The Royal Opera House
site is the biggest so far excavated in Lundenwic. It was abandoned
in 886 when the Alfred re-occupied the old Roman city: the first
traces of this have been discovered at Queenhythe.
