History of London city

One of the places I spent a long time today in London was at the Museum of London.  It has a lovely collection of the historical development of the city of London right since early AD, before the Romans invaded the island.  The most interesting facts I gathered from my tour of only part of the museum are the following:

• London was initially a Roman project (though contested).  It was actually 'Londinium' when it was founded by the invading Romans in 43 AD. 
• However, the Roman power began to wane, largely due to the Anglo-Saxon attacks, and the Romans finally withdrew in 410 AD.  
• By 600 AD the Anglo-Saxon's had named it 'Lundenwic' meaning London port.  
• By 886 AD, King Alfred considered to be the first 'English' West-Saxon king, named it Lundenberg. 
• It was the Romans who instilled the culture of bath and hygiene among the local population (thanks be to God!). 
• A model of the 2012 Olympic torch is at display in the museum.  The concept, the design and the whole work behind the same is beautifully displayed in a large hall.  

Well, that was only from the two sections that I really spent time at.  Then there was the plague and civil war era, the later developmental stages and other interesting areas of the museum that I could not make it to! Was too tired and wanted to travel rather than be in the same place (travel card had to be made use of, you see!).

 A model of the theatre house ... the concept and the architecture is worth admiring.

 Part of the London Wall, originally built by the Romans!

 I guess it is the logo of the city of London... looks grand!
