Popis: The article examines the directions and forms ofsocio-economic interaction between London and provincial towns of England in 1350– 1370 based on the material of the original sources. It is shown that the main sphere in their relationship was trade, which was implemented in various organizational forms, with extensive use of commodity and monetary credit. Also, the field for interaction was the return of runaway apprentices who left the masters in London and found refuge in different cities of England. Often the mayor of London had to defend the commercial and financial interests of his citizens in the face of opposition from the government of provincial towns. The author concludes that the relations between London and the town “periphery” of England in the XIV century were complicated. But the contradictions that arose were resolved in the existing justice field.
