Just found out about an amazing app for iphones and ipads created by the Museum of London and the TV channel History.  This app shows the old Roman London as it enables the users to really feel like an archaeologist. It enables the users to see how Roman London used to be and it gives very useful information in regards to history. There are different routes that users can follow to compare the real London with what London used to be. A quick video of the app will enable you to view some features of it. The app is Streetmuseum Londinium by Thumbspark Limited.Try it is free and it is very useful! If you travel to London do download this app and use it to see how London used to be.
