The Ancient World in London - The London Stone (1/25)

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/sean-williams/awil-video-series-visit-london-stone ) Meet our three intrepid explorers who will take an adventure across the Ancient World in London - Jamie Hobbis, Natalie Foster and Nicole Favish - who over the next 3 months will appear in Heritage Key's new webseries, proudly sponsored by Addison Lee. The first episode sees them going to the obvious first stop for ancient history in the city - the British Museum, but also getting out and about to the sites which people don't normally see. The trio take a trip to Cannon Street and see the mysterious London Stone.

Great video, and top picks on all the presenters.

Thumbs up for all of your efforts. Thanks for posting this!

shame the historival content is minimal, can even see the stone and..why the picture of maggy thatcher i wonder..

[OPOCHKA]

Pity about the damn annoying and incredibly stupid audio - visual effects that are plastered all over the series, spoiling everything.

This will put a lot of people off watching the videos.

A potentially excellent series obviously crippled from birth by being designed and targetted to the young and trendy types, those who have not yet the life experience of age to realise that the content of these otherwise interesting video productions are presented in such a stupid manner.

I watched the whole thing and still know nothing of The London Stone except that it is important and easy to miss.

[ALBIONTYKE]

A great topic to research on, but too focused on the people presenting it than on the subject itself. If more time was spent on the history of London than the distracting effects of the vid cam, it would be more credible.

It was neat, but we didn't really learn anything about it. There wasn't much explanation about what it was-- I know it's quite mysterious but there wasn't even mention of any theories. It was just "This is the London Stone stuck randomly in this wall". Maybe the rest will turn out a little better; good luck :)

Hey, I dedicated the Second issue of my zine to the Great London Stone :

It's called BINE, find it on my website.
