History of London

A brief introduction to the complicated evolution of the historic city of London. Here, Peter Murray - Co-Founder of NLA (New London Architecture) - explains the development of the capital, from its inception 2,000 years ago with the Roman settlement on the Thames to its role as a major trading city and establishment of seat of British government, and discusses particular challenges it has faced, including the Great Fire of 1666, the onslaught of the Blitz in World War II, and the expansion of the city.

I'm brazilian and picked up London as a theme to a school work, it was nice to see that now most of londons buildings are made of brick because of the fear of spreading another fire

London in it's earliest years was called Londinium - probably Latin. I don't know why he didn't mention that. Later, and for who knows how long, streets of any width sporadic it seems - with tons of houses between them. They called these 'alleys' which ran between these houses 'streets' are you kidding ? - not even. You wouldn't believe how small and narrow they got. Some were connected by what I call 'tunnels', smaller than a 'causeway'. It's outright bizarre.

Curiously, the narrator evades the invasion of immigration to make London what it was and contrast what it is today. London was poorer than most cities from the start it was clear. But immigrants changed its face, not just from abroad, but the hardworking Northerners of England. The great industrialization plays a huge part in the changed face of London as well. The be fair, there is so much one can write about London. And despite its turmoil and varied plus sordid past, it still is one of, if not, the greatest cities in the world. Having said that, I would defy anyone to say that it is hindsight which made London. Although we may have overused that noun in recent times.

It is striking that this channel focuses on innovation and improvement in housing when the critical issue of affordability is not being addressed. Building new homes solely to maximize profits is unsustainable. Frankly, I find it disheartening to discuss the London real estate market. Re-engage your focus please.
