The History of London is a 90-minute video-based lesson built around a visually engaging 24-minute documentary covering 2,000 years of London’s history — from the Romans to the 21st century. Available at both B2 and C1 levels, each version includes a schema-activation warm-up, pre-watching vocabulary tasks, while-watching comprehension activities, a grammar focus on the third conditional, and a student-led research and presentation task centred on key historical events including the founding of the East India Company. Fully print-ready and classroom-tested, this is a complete, no-prep lesson that connects language learning to history, critical thinking, and real-world research skills.
