It was in London that the majority of the passengers boarded the Mayflower, it was home to the master and his crew, and where the money was raise for the journey. The significance of London is often overlooked as the shrines have grown up around the home towns of the religious separatists.  But we should consider that around 65 of the 102 passengers boarded the Mayflower in London, and that the religious contingent which made there way from Leiden in Holland numbered only 37.
