Lovin this Anglo-Saxon map of London and the surrounding area (click on it for a bigger view). So many of the names of these places have endured in one form or another for example, Padintune (Paddington), Straetforda (Stratford), Kyningestun (Kingston) etc. The other striking thing about it is how all the main Roman roads out of the city are still there and many of them have morphed into major arterial roads today.
