London and the War of the Roses Walk

The War of the Roses Walk went very well - the key being to make it a portrait of London during the War of the Roses rather than a narrative of the War itself.

Much room for improvement - it needs more site specific research and need a war to intergrate the events of the War better but otherwise I really enjoyed the research and improvising on my existing Medieval knowledge.

The Route was:

Newgate St
Paternoster Square
St Pauls Cross
St Pauls
Ludgate
Creed Lane
Carter Street
Baynards Castle
St Andrews by the Wardrobe
Blackfriars
Apothecaries Hall
Heralds - site of Derby House
College Hill
Dowgate Hill
Steelyard
Walbrook
Bucklesbury
Poultry
Old Jewry
Ironmonger Lane
Guildhall


St Michael's Paternoster

How London is Divided Up

Image
The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy!

Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow

Updated Lincoln's Inn Fields Wikipedia page

This one I did because the London Archaeologist had an article by Barbora Brederova about an excavation in the Fields, and it gave information not clearly listed on Wikipedia. If you want to read it here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%27s_Inn_Fields#History I included a reference to the discovery of a fragment of a fudding cup.
