Focus Week: Museum of London

The museum of London shows how the changing city has evolved and grown over history from early settlers, to Roman Londinium. With Londinium being where the heart of the city is and then in the Saxon times another settlement was set up further down stream where Charing Cross is now. The City of London is built on a huge area of marsh land that over centuries has seen the River Thames Cut down in width dramatically One other exhibition currently on display is about the Great Fire of London in 1666 showing some of the original artifacts that survived the fire and how Londoner’s fled to the banks of the Thames to escape the flames taking only their most valuable, but not always their most useful or important of belongings.
