The Entire History of London — Roman Conquest to World Empire

In the year 60 AD, the largest city in Britain was burned to the ground by a British queen. Her name was Boudica. Archaeologists can still find that fire. A thin layer of red ash and melted pottery sits in the soil beneath modern London at a depth of four meters — a scar from a single day of destruction still readable in the ground two thousand years later. London has been burned to the ground at least three times. Each time it came back larger, more powerful, and more consequential than before. This is the story of how a Roman trading post on a muddy river ended up controlling a quarter of the earth. ——————————————————————— 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 — The Fire That's Still in the Ground 02:00 — Vikings, Plague, and the Norman Conquest 04:30 — The Great Fire of 1666 06:30 — Empire, Blitz, and Reinvention 08:30 — What London Actually Teaches ——————————————————————— If this changed how you see London — or any city — leave a comment.
