About This Event

Discover the impact of the Roman Empire on the development of London with TV presenter Tim Potter, as seen on Channel 5. This talk will delve into the Roman origins of London, which was established by Roman legions two thousand years ago. Within sixty years, the city, known as Londinium, had grown to become one of the largest cities north of the Alps, with a population of approximately 120,000. As the capital of the Roman province of Britain, Londinium was a central hub for its road network and trade. The Romans established the city’s boundaries, and their influence continues to shape modern London.

At its peak, Londinium boasted a range of amenities, including temples, bathhouses, an amphitheatre, palaces and a forum larger than Trafalgar Square. Many remnants of this Roman city remain hidden beneath the ground, approximately 30 feet below the surface.

Join Tim Potter, author, TV presenter and London guide speaker, as he examines the creation, growth and eventual decline of Roman London.
