@history_mapped: Watch London grow from a Roman bridge over the Thames to a city of 8 million: Londinium and Boudica, medieval churches and Old St Paul's, the Civil War, the Great Fire, the Dutch invasion, Victorian smoke and the Blitz. #london #timelapse #HistoryTok #map #british

It’s interesting that it grew until about 1950 and then stopped. Why is that?

Londinium was so impressively built by the Romans that when the Anglo Saxons moved in, they thought it was built by giants

And now London is overpopulated and too congested. So now lovely suburbs outside London are getting green land snatched up for horrible new builds for the ever growing population
