The Romans invaded Britain in AD43, they moved north from the Kent Coast and crossed the Thames in the London region, fighting with the local tribesmen just to the north. It is said that the
soldiers crossed the river at Lambeth, but it was further downstream that they built a permanent wooden bridge, just east of the present London Bridge, when it was more peaceful,  7 years later.

The focal point of the Roman road system, was the bridge which attracted settlers and led to London's  growth. The grid pattern of the town planning suggest that the first inhabitants were
military, with trade and commerce soon following.  The River Thames was deep and was an ideal place for ship berths and the area was also an ideal place to make bricks and soon there
was a flourising city named Londinium, not a Latin name, but Celtic, and thought to have been the name of a farmstead that had been there.

AD 60 and London was burnt to the ground by Queen Boudicca of the Iceni tribe (Norfolk) who led a major uprising against Roman rule.  Suetonius Paulinus, the governor was absent fighting
the Druids in North Wales.  He returned, but seeing his oppenents army decided to evacuate the city, but still many were massacred.  London was a convenient place to reach any part of the
British Isles and the rest of the Roman Empire.

AD250´s an altar inscription records that Governor Marcus Martiannius Pulcher rebuilt the Temple of Isis in the city, and a speculator, from his or a subsequent governor's staff, was buried on
Ludgate Hill. An elaborate late 1st century building, with large reception rooms and offices, has been partially excavated beneath Cannon Street Station. It may have been the Governor's
Palace. A second palatial building was recently discovered in the smaller trading settlement at Southwark, in the marshes south of the river.
