What happened when the Romans left Londinium in 410 AD ? The city went into decline and the "Dark Ages “ began.

Tribes of Anglo-Saxons invaded but after hundreds of years they were overpowered by the Vikings. Finally, Alfred the Great gained control of England and order was restored. This Talk examines all of the above culminating in the creation of Westminster, another City within London.
