In this walk we explore the evidence for Saxon London, from the Roman Walls to the River Thames and London Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans gave the name of Saxons to barbarian pirates that plagued the North Sea region in the Late Roman Period. Historians link them with the Angles to create the germanic Anglo-Saxon period of which London was the leading town. But excavation and DNA analysis make the traditional story more difficult to sustain and although the Anglo-Saxond have a rich history how much of it can be trusted? Was there a Dark Age?

In the streets of the City we will try to glimpse the reality behind the myths.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a walk for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walks.com\/\">London Walks<\/a> by Kevin Flude<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Search of Saxon London 2.30 Nov 30th\u00a0 Moorgate Tube Exit (West side) The period between the end of Roman Londinium and the Norman Conquest of 1066 has long been controversial.
