Our capital city has always been a thriving and colourful place,
full of diverse and determined individuals developing trade and
finance, exchanging gossip and doing business. Abandoned by the
Romans, rebuilt by the Saxons, occupied by the Vikings and
reconstructed by the Normans, London would become the largest trade
and financial centre, dominating the world in later centuries.
London has always been a brilliant, vibrant and eclectic place -
Henry V was given a triumphal procession there after his return
from Agincourt and the Lord Mayor's river pageant was an annual
medieval spectacular. William the Conqueror built the Tower, Thomas
Becket was born in Cheapside, Wat Tyler led the peasants in revolt
across London Bridge and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales was the first
book produced on Caxton's new printing press in Westminster. But
beneath the colour and pageantry lay dirt, discomfort and disease,
the daily grind for ordinary folk. Like us, they had family
problems, work worries, health concerns and wondered about the
weather.
