So, England's historic core was being changed.

Arguably, England's historic core was Wessex and Mercia, not London.
England (as a single kingdom) was formed by the unification of the crowns
of Mercia and Wessex under Æthelstan and subsequent absorption of other
Anglo-Saxon territories...

You seem to be forgetting that England

Lloegr & _Cymru_

was pretty much united under Roman
occupation with London as a major city. The Anglo-Saxons were a bunch of
johnny-come-latelys.
