A large wall surrounded London, in hopes of keeping the streets of London and safe from mischief.

The streets of London were always crowded, but when it grew dark, it seemed there were hardly anyone out besides the prostitutes and the drunkards.

Shops lined the streets of London, vendors yelling out various items they were selling and how much. It was a busy place, where you wouldn't be noticed. The buildings were tall, the houses seemed to be squished together, no backyard like you had at home. This place seemed dirtier than what you had thought it would be. You could see all types of animals scurrying about (rats, dogs, cats, even a monkey?!) The smell was okay. There seemed to be a never eluding smell of burning wood.

The weather was almost always chilly until about 3 or 4 when the sun would be high in the sky.

This is in order of rank.

Working and poor class: Women wore a thick woollen 'kirtle', a square-necked ankle-length dress with a fitted, laced bodice and full skirts. Also wore an apron over the top to keep the dress as clean as possible. The men wore long hose, loose breeches, shirt and a thick belted 'jerkin' similar to a long waistcoat.

Men and women wore something like this:
