  The entire city of London collectively having a pet rock is not something I expected to learn today

  When I was 9 years old I picked up a stone on a beach that looked interesting.  50 years later, it's still sitting on my desk. It's always been on my home desk, wherever I've lived, from the age of 9.

  The idea that Romans placed the rock there as a reference marker in the very center of the roman settlement is what makes most sense, much more sense that the other hypothesis.

  I feel like this could be the centerpiece of a Doctor who episode.

  Thoughty2 just made me sit through the biography of a dumb rock and made me enjoy every second of it.

  I have lived in London all my 60 years, but never heard of this stone until a flurry of YouTube videos on it this year. I must have passed it many times.

  A rock concert was once held there. And this one rock got so stoned, it didn&apos;t realize the concert was over.

  At the very least the London Stone is an incredible link to the past and carries the vibration, memory, hopes and dreams of many centuries of Londoners.<br>That alone is magical!

  As a Londoner, this is the first time I&apos;ve heard of the London Stone...or Avebury.<br><br>I know you could never explore all of London in an entire lifetime but I really do need to make a start.
