Provocateur we should be saying that to those who don’t appreciate the land that they live in and come here to leech off benefits. The real enemies are the ones who bite the hand that feeds them.
Ben Palmer I’m also often surprised how small it seems when you walk around. Any other big city feels like crashing you and makes you feel tiny. London has a very smart urban design to always make it feel walkable and small-scaled.
The 'central' parts of London are quite concentrated, you can walk from Houses of Parliament to the East End in about an hour. But once you get out of central, the outer areas of London are HUGE. Once you get out of Zone 1-2 on the tube map, it can take an hour by train to reach the edges of London in Zone 6.

Very cool! I follow a Substack called, Resilient Rock Hill, and the author mentioned this video and how, way back in the day, as new technology developed, some small towns gradually grew into cities. It kinda reminds me of those medieval video games where you gradually grow your cities with shops and businesses residents could use/needed.
The population of London is completely unknown. Nobody has any idea how many immigrants have come to London in the past forty years or so. Census polls are way off. I remember, years ago as a student doing some temporary work as a census collector in the East End of London to pay for my University studies. Many of the huge Victorian and Georgian houses were obviously housing tens or even twenties of immigrants but often just one immigrant would answer the door and claim to be the only resident. In one large Victorian house, someone even leaned out the of top window when I rang the bell and shouted down that "nobody lives here".
MyVanir No, you're right they don't count them. Immigrants come here as 'students' or for 'medical aid' or on 'holidays' or 'to visit relatives' and never go home. As for the tens of thousands of other illegal immigrants who come across from France in the back of lorries or in dinghies or the thousands who come by ship or by air and immediately claim refugee status and then vanish into thin air, or those with fake passports etc etc none of those are accounted for.
Thank you for preparing and posting this video. Interesting to watch the city virtually explode in size and population as it approached the present day.
Let me just start off by saying this: if you want us to focus on the illustrations and/or animation, do a freaking voice over. Take advantage of the media, you might as well just have posted this in an article if not.
+2ndRatePetronius Especially to think that London is a creation of *Rome*. That when London had *25,000 to 30,000* inhabitants, Rome had *1,500,000* people living in it: the first metropolis and megalopolis in history.
Fascinating video. It takes a long time before buildings of a particular architectural period are recognised as having any cultural/historical importance. We seem unable to appreciate "contemporary" architecture has any value or should be preserved for future generations- we seem to live in the past, castigating our forebearers for failing to protect and preserve- In the intervening period developers wreak much havoc and destroy some of the best examples.
Would be nice to see more post Roman archaeology overlaid, as well as the surviving/protected buildings. The extent of former development might look different then.
I hope that more historic buildings are listed. It will preserve many things that Londoners can look back on and celebrate as a city. The style and elegance of old buildings is being replaced by modern, efficient yet overly complex buildings that personally I don't really like.

At 1.47 all the farmsteads are listed, but Walthamstow is shown in the wrong part of the map - it should be in the north east, just below Higham and Hale End (which are now parts of Walthamstow). Instead it's shown as being part of what is now Islington. But that aside, a really interesting video.

How many people in this comment section are going to go on about the UK becoming Islamic? IT'S NOT! Islam is still a VERY SMALL minority in the UK so stop getting so uptight about the whole thing. No one even mentioned Islam in this video, so why bring it up here and make this whole comment section toxic.
That combination of the first ambient track with the text and information on black background creeped me out a bit for some reason (originally watched this around midnight haha), but love the information in the video overall.
I wish that 50+ years ago I had explored old sites like the Roman and Saxon ruins! However as a 19-20 yr. old U.S. Airman I was interested in the girls I met at Trafalgar Sq. AND THE PUBS OF COURSE!
Great video. However, what it doesn't mention is that nothing south of the Thames, and many areas to the north, was considered 'London' until quite recently. Middlesex was almost entirely consumed by the creation of Greater London in 1965. The East End of London had expanded into Essex and got caught up in the new catchment. As did much of Surrey, which once extended right up to the south bank of the Thames. The same for the northern parts of Kent. They were distinct, rural entities and certainly not part of 'London'. It's a pity they weren't shown as such on the map, and how they were absorbed into the boundary of what we now know as Greater London.
rohannock good point - I'm considering a career in "telling people on the internet to get a life", not unlike yourself. We don't want wankers helping content creators make the final step from great content to perfect content, now do we?

Interestingly, is seem to have been a longest lasting intimate physical relationship in his life. It is not known if also this "union" of his was blessed with any number of issue.
Greater London should be renamed to "Ever Bigger London" considering how much bigger its getting. With the ever constant building of houses, redevelopment and heavy overpopulation, it will grow well beyond the M25 and reach as far as Reading, Chelmsford and Luton in the next 50 years!
Jack Wallace London is getting taken over by middle easterners is what I think they’re saying by putting ‘stan’ at the end of London as most middle eastern countries end with ‘stan’ in their name.
I live in Ealing, a saxon village 1000+ years ago - now its international, like all major cities in the modern world. Some idiots in the comments section haven't heard of the modern world or global commerce.
VC YT I think very few people realise that London has always been a city of different cultures - from Romans to Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Normans, etc - it was always a boiling pot of cultures which I find fascinating.
This is a great and fascinating video, but fails to mention or include the significant damage done to London's properties and buildings during WW2 and the Blitz, where fires raged and consumed so much history, particularly in the City and old Docks.
As someone from California it's always fascinating to me to see anything over 100 years old.

no, as zones 1 & 2 define central London.
The City of London, the inner one, sits on pudding lane and everything that burnt down In the great fire of London. It was a false flag attack to get the poor out of where they wanted to worship Beelzebub.
Silver Moon no, central London is much bigger. Walled part is the City Of London, also known as Square Mile.
Steven Torrey. I didn't realise that New York (formerly, New Amsterdam), and Manhattan was founded by the Romans!
So sad. I wish that the Roman part of London was preserved.
Super Catman yes, it’s a pity. By the way if you visit Bath, Roman heritage is much more preserved there.
Me too, but it's really very difficult to keep for 2000 years.
Unfortunately whilst Rome still has much of it thanks to the type of rock found around Rome making fantastic and long lasting concrete, we do not have such luck and our roman structures were built with lesser quality rock.
Roman london is very very deep down. Theres an enormous build up of material over it so theres almost certainly a lot more buried than we know about
It is preserved, it's just underground.
I wonder what post-English London is going to look like?
Bradford.
It was never English as the Romans founded it you fucking idiot !
Its been international ever since.
That city was run from London during 1918-68.
Nope, as that's too small, as is more likely to grow.

So, if I get this right, Stockholm is where London were in the early 1800's, right?
no cause stockholm isn't lead by a muslim but is part of swedenistan
This is a great and fascinating video, but fails to mention or include the significant damage done to London's properties and buildings during WW2 and the Blitz, where fires raged and consumed so much history, particularly in the City and old Docks.
This is a good video but it does not explain at all how Greater London expanded to incorporate parts of Middlesex, Kent, Surrey and Essex.
Magnificent.
What about Thames' bed . Was it the same? I dont think so ...
Nice! Do New York City next.
Where is the zone around london called pakistan?
Has the course of the Thames not changed in 2000 years?
The V2 rocket would like to know your location?
Glad to see that BF players are as stupid, ignorant, and clueless outside of the game as in. Thought I was going mad. A true dumbshit.
