Where the Hell is Viking London?

London! The big smoke! It's an absolute treasure trove of archaeological wonders and it's where beer costs £6 a pint. The whole mighty conurbation is home to museums filled with artefacts, historical buildings, fortifications, and wondrous mysteries!

But why don't you ever hear about the Vikings in London? You always hear about the Romans, Boudicca's raid, late Saxons, Normans, and the later medieval period and Tudors. But why no Viking London? Some people claim there's nothing from the Viking Age to be seen in London but OH LADS DO I BEG TO DIFFER!!

Join Jimmy on a stroll through Viking Age London, and find out why we don't have all that many artefacts from the period to drool over!

Stop drooling on the artefacts.
