About This Event

About London History Series
We are delighted to present the London History Series, a captivating journey through 2000 years of London’s evolution, exclusively for ROSL members and their guests. Over the coming months, Tim Potter, esteemed guide and author of two acclaimed books on London, will lead a series of six illustrated talks that explore the city’s dynamic past.

Starting with an exploration of London’s Roman origins, Tim will trace the city’s growth through the late medieval period, including its dramatic transformation following the Great Fire. Subsequent sessions will illuminate London’s Georgian expansion, its rise to global prominence in the nineteenth century, and the profound changes of the twentieth century.

About Norman and Medieval London
In his second talk, Tim will delve into the fascinating 600-year period between the Norman Conquest and the Great Fire of London. During this transformative era, London evolved from a modest provincial town into one of Europe’s foremost cities. Discover the pivotal events that shaped the city, from the Peasants’ Revolt and the Reformation to the lives of iconic figures like Dick Whittington and William Shakespeare. Tim will also reveal the remnants of this bygone era – ghostly echoes of a past age.
