London History
City history
The Romans established the town of Londinium shortly after their invasion of Britain in 43AD. In the second century, the city became capital of Roman Britain as the population reached 60,000. The Romans built the London wall, which was 6m tall and 2.5m thick, and survived for 1,600 years. The Roman occupation of Britain ended in 410, and the city went into a steep decline. Viking raids and occupation persisted until the tenth century, when the Anglo-Saxons took over. After the Norman Conquest William the Conqueror was crowned the King of England in 1066. A fairly stable monarchy followed, that continues to this day.
