- The LEA was developed by The Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (UCL), as a partnership project between Dr Kiril Stanilov -The Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (University of Cambridge), Museum of London Archaeology (with the Mapping London and Locating London's Past projects) and using data from the National Heritage List for England, courtesy of English Heritage. It was initiated and directed by Polly Hudson (PHD). Animation by Flora Roumpani (CASA).
The London Evolution Animation (LEA) was developed for 'The Almost Lost' exhibition at Wellington Arch (English Heritage) from the 4rth of December until the 2nd of February 2014. It
shows the historical development of London from Roman times to today, using georeferenced road network data brought together for the first time. The animation also visualizes (as enlarging yellow points) the position and number of statutorily protected buildings and structures built during each period.
Further information on its production can be found below.

As someone from California it's always fascinating to me to see anything over 100 years old.
I know what you mean. I'm from Vegas and you'd be hard pressed to find things older than 60 years there. But I went to London and touched a Roman wall. That was cool.
Yeah bc Calufornia is the most advanted region rn but it was been developed for very little tho
Great video. As an immigrant from the pacific, I'm very proud to live in London, as I walk the streets on a summer night. Great history makes it all the better as thoughts linger in your head of what was once.
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.
There's no such thing as god you blithering infant.

@@dovydaslevanavicius9050 It's as if you think you have a point.
@Spanish Mapping Originality isn't your strong point, being late to the party doesn't seem to be a problem though.
For those of us not British, it is easy to overlook that there is the City of London, the ancient walled city, and London, the modern sprawling metropolis. It's sort of like Manhattan as New York City and forgetting that New York City comprises five boroughs,
Steven Torrey Does the walled city part match the current area defined as Central London?
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!
It's crazy how big but small London is. 8.6 million people inside but I can still see my house's location on the map
This sounds stupid but when you got a giant map like this and you still point to exactly where you house should be it's pretty crazy to me
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.
London is super small..it looks like one big shanty town
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.
@@lucimaralves490 it's 600 square miles
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.
It's interesting to compare the straight and well definied roman roads with the latter saxon roads.
padamibr they were built for a manageable gradient for moving goods around on. That's why they aren't straight.
Roman roads were built primarily for pedestrian traffic.
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.
Post-English as in Englistan or United Emirates of Great Britistan and Northern Iristan?
How to present good content in a boring way
Glynn Morgan I find it interesting though some street-level fly throughs with the buildings of the time would be neat if complicated to do. Good music, bit chilling.

How to needlessly complain about good content in a boring way.
@Multorum Unum Ahem... 3D videos on TH-cam are a thing.
Fuck off.
I love this trippy music, putting me in a trance!
no this is awful music my ears are bleeding
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.
Such rapid expansion is sad. What will be left in a hundred years which is not made of concrete and glass. I am fearful that one day there won't be much left at all.
Lol.. the feeble minded weakling homo not so sapiens... concrete is natural, glass is natural .. everything there is is Natural... everything is balanced..
Microphunktv Just because they're made of originally natural materials, rather heavily modified, doesn't mean they can't be ugly. Everything we have has got to come from nature/mining at some point.
wrong, as new buildings replace old ones an create many jobs !
backwards, extremely dubious comment here, unfavomabley uneducated person. Of course expansion is needed for humans to continue to prosper and dominate this planet, and galaxy in due course.
I blame it on the country being too heavily overpopulated!
Beautifully done; this is a great resource.
This is really great. I wont lie but I am fascinated by London's history...
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".
You are quite an idiot aren't you? It like you think they don't count them at the docks or the airports or something? Gosh
well Tony Blair labour actually admitted they didn't have a proper accounting for new immigrants and had no idea of how many were entering britain
I got 2 likes makes my existence more bearable
Claystead I am willing to bet that they don't count the "legal" "refugee" migrants either.
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.
This is completely mesmerising. Everything about it.
greatest city in the world.
Half of it looks like shit I lived there for 10 years m8, just stinks almost everywhere you go.
Classymaru Nara Well it's a lot better now you've left.
Fascinating. I'd love to see the same for other great world cities.
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.
Myself I prefer no voice over and like the video as it is.....so "Us" doesn't apply does it..I think you mean "Me" not "Us".
I guess Jimmy doesn't like to read.
It's TH-cam...you can just click on Pause if you want to take a closer look.
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.
Like going to a museum from my home pc.
I would have been interested to see more specific changes like the Great Fire and how that affected the growth of the landscape.
My DNA shows my ancestors were from this area starting in prehistoric times. It's cool to see how it evolved over time.
very interesting. we must preserve our history.
Very well presented video. London's physical history is captivating, overwhelming and beautiful.
Interesting, but It must have been edited on a fairly big monitor, as much of the text etc. is way too small for TH-cam.
The Abominable History Man (Rich F-G) try making the view full screen. Should fill your screen if 24"
Excellent music!

Interesting and informative clip. Thanks for posting it.
The londonstan evolution
what?
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.
Calum Champion you don’t have to look that deep into it
@@monty268 I didnt. But, dissmissing any politically loaded term is fun. Leftists and right wingers should be shot.
Calum Champion why does everything have to be left and right
Nice. Enjoyed that. A version with voice-over would be good. Reading the subtitles (over other subtitles) is visually busy, and our eyes are missing some of the animation visuals and timeline updates happening simultaneously.
Can you make one on Philadelphia, PA United States
Yes, I'd also love to see how California grew.
Through the power of BrExit, I am hopeful (as an American) London will return to glory!
Noah Antupit Noah Antupit Return? what do you mean return? As a living, working and tax paying resident I have the pleasure of informing you that it is and remains great.
"Globalization is the age of information" uh no globalization is the downfall of any civilized society.
brexit will just reduce polish workers. why do people think the uk will suddenly be heaven lol
@@nesquikmilk3815 Age of Information indeed and now we're seeing the effects of political globalization with Article 13. Small independent media outlets and individuals posting stuff will soon be controlled according to the interest of larger corporate bodies in the interest of the EU. There is a difference between accepting globalization and submitting to every aspect of it. Harsher copyright laws is just the tip of the Iceberg, like Russia's diplomatic policy, they will slowly chip away at freedoms and sovereignty, leaving the infinity of time for people to give in to their will.
Idiot
the flats I've grown up in were built in 1890, I feel blessed
tbh, I thought this video was going to be more spectacular and animated than this
Where are other comments?
This is so fascinating and engrossing!
+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.
I need a voice over. It’s hard to read and see what is happening on the map at the same time.
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.
Faiz Rahman I love classical buildings and I don't mean 50s/60s those are dreadful. Would like a return to that quality with modern benefits.
theres both present i'm glad to say.
The placename Bensham above the large word Beddington towards the bottom of the screen is now called Norbury, coming from North-burh - North borough of Bensham
my subwoofer is going nuts over the background music...
I thought it was a distant train going by. haha
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.
*The Three Largest cities in Europe by land:*
*LONDON 1,572.15 km²*
*ROME 1,287,36 km²*
*BERLIN 891,85 km²*
+Roma Megalopolis Roma avrebbe la stessa superficie di Londra se solo negli anni '90 non avessero costituito il Comune di Fiumicino
not London but LONDINIUM
Roma Megalopolis London north of the Thames and East of the Lea was Essex until 1965
moscow is larger than all of these
Moscow?
A very relaxing watch
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.
Extraordinary expansion! Thank you for the video 💯👍🏼
Very interesting to see, especially from the point of view of a French guy: Paris knew a very, very different destiny c:
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 thought this was the GTA 5 map for a second
GTA set in London would be so dope
Already been done, son.
the old version the helicopter view on the ps1
same
Hi, where may I find the "Diving Reflex-Breathe Underwater" piece that you use in the video soundtrack?
Loved this, thank you very much.
If you close your eyes and listen to the music, it gets way better.
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.
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!
If only London preserved its culture & people.
Shut up
Very nice! Is there a documentation available with better quality images of the maps?
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.
Really impressed by London's wonderful protection...Here in Beijing they almost have demolished everything built before 1949, and the rest are turned into tourist spots.
needs a voice over so i can appreciate the animation a bit more.
Please, What is this music?
It's in the fucking description.
Poultrygeist It's in the description now.
So, what happened to the Normans and their conquest after the Saxons in this animation?
I can't find the soundtrack that plays in the beginning.
Do you have any links to the 'Diving Reflex' track? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Hey guys check out this video on London Tour guide in 2 minutes or less its a different perspective of London mixing the old with the new.
why is 1880 listed as early victorian given she came to the throne years before that??
Do one showing the demographics
Provocateur oof
just what i needed,
thanks
This was really well done
Amazing, great job !
who made the music ?
When I watch this I can't help but think of growing neurons.
Is it me or does the thumbnail map looks like the modern day Polish Borders?
Really nice done! Love it, just sad how much ww2 did actually cost us in total, empire, people, important buildings of our past...
This didn't teach me much except there are a lot of listed buildings in london.
So glad for the green belt. Without it places like Reading would have been suburbs of London by now.
Is there an interactive version of this map?
Where is the zone around london called pakistan?
Fantastic.
5:14 "builidngs"
good catch
Didn't get it.
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?
seriously now you have this marvellous video who took months to make probably with the research and the data, and you just saw builidngs instead of buildings and you still talk ! jesus ....
rohannock I actually paid attention to a wonderfully crafted video. And I thought something as silly as a spelling error would take away some of the beauty of the video. Perhaps the creator of the video would feel the same way and would like to correct the flaw, so the video can go from great to perfect.
I really don't see what you're bitching and moaning about.
What about Thames' bed . Was it the same? I dont think so ...
More importantly, where is this music from? It put me to sleep in two minutes and is even better than the white noise apps. A-maze-ing
what's the name of the first song?
Victorian era were the best times for London.
It's definitely a top contender for my " What time period would I want to live in".
Very well done!
Nice video on Londonistan.
It will be interesting to see this map in 2020 when England is officially a Muslim territory.
Maybe with Brexit they will be a minority and hopefully just not there at all in the future, but with the left say goodbye to white people and British culture.
VC YT The stupid thing is you fail to see the bigger picture. In 20 years time London is America's 52 State. So much for your flag waving galavanting and epic remark.
Elliot Smith, what's wrong buddy, can't come up with a good rebuttle or facts to counter mine? You just give up and resort to name calling? Nice lose.
Welcome to the United Emirates of Great Britistan and Northern Iristan!
What was the Muslim population of Constantinople before the Islamic conquest? It's probably the city with the highest Christian percentage in the entire Europe at that time.
Brilliant!
Nice! Do New York City next.
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.
They didn't show how all the jobs, power and the keys to the city have been handed over to people who have neither earnt or deserve it.
You know... it was done in 16th century
I don’t understand... you have to apply for jobs. Which means you will have earned that job if you did deserve it...
fascinating!
amazing
Has the course of the Thames not changed in 2000 years?
Nice, thanks!
i am afraid to think of the population growth in twenty years from now with the amount of tower blocks they are tripping over themselves to build now. i thought boroughs did not want tower blocks, how times have changed
Islamophobia and whinging in the comments, I'd expect nothing less.
Anyone actually just interested in Londons history?
Mr Emerald what about London’s future? Islamophobia isn’t a real thing.
Yes, and we're also concerned for its future.
There's no such thing as "Islamophobia " you prat.
@Johan sigurdson It's a word an extremist used years ago in the U.K. while he preached and the media have used it ever since, and now citizens use the word, even though they can't comprehend what a phobia is and the whole word doesn't make sense at all.
@Johan sigurdson I don't get it... what does racism have to do with religion or nationalism?
Very interesting!
What about Rome?
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
Do one of these vids for Manchester
Great video - irritating drone in the background. Is that music?
this London video - I might have dozed off some moments, but don't think I missed any excitement, looks to me like a visually well documented staphylococcae infection as it had settled on Rob Jansen"s leg - our good doctor just couldn't shake it off! The old matriarch of the staphylo colony must have overheard Rob when he was boasting about himself being a "Good Catch". I am sure he had something else in mind, but he got caught allright! 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.
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.
