The etymology of London's name is in doubt...but one theory is that it is derived from the Welsh (Celtic) "Llyn din" which means lake fort. But that theory, like most others, has its doubters. See (visit link)

What is not in dispute is that the British Museum in London holds an extensive trove of Celtic objects and keeps a database of all finds throughout Britain...from jewelry, weapons, household objects, figurines, harnesses, helmets, etc. See the link to the database at (visit link)
The database is updated annually.
