    Roman Ruins in London: 11 Places to See Roman London

    December 23, 2022 /

    London is a city where its history is literally beneath your feet; one of the most fascinating chapters of London history is shown by the evidence of when the Roman empire spread all the way to Great Britain.

    I'm standing across the Thames from the Houses of Parliament, admiring the view. My guide suddenly says, "and behind us is the second oldest privately owned garden in London, dating back to the 12th century." [I later learned this is Lambeth Palace Gardens.] Needless to say: on my first trip to London, I was struck by the incredible history of the place....

    I'll be the first to admit that I have a morbid fascination. I'm the one in my group of friends who's 'in the know' about the latest true crime podcasts and have long been a fan of shows and books like Sherlock (and, of course, Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes books), Broadchurch, J.K. Rowling's Cormoran Strike series...

    London is full of historic gems: blue plaques mark important residences, building cornerstones have dates from centuries past, and street names harken back to the times when those streets peddled those wares – like Shoulder of Mutton Alley, Wardrobe Place, or Pudding Lane.

    London has a long, twisting, and sometimes dark history... its streets are haunted by historic figures of high repute, from those who wander the palace halls and Tower of London to the night stalker of London's East End, Jack the Ripper.

    As you plan a trip to London, it's hard to ignore the rich history of the city. There's the London Wall, remnants of when the Romans occupied this land some 2,000 years ago, and the Tower of London which dates back over a thousand years. There is also more recent history, like the glamour of Victorian London when the city was the capital of a global empire...
