I would agree with both of you - you would expect SP to fortify and rebuild London ASAP as the main trading port and a few months would seem sufficient.
Interestingly it would seem that Verulamium was functioning fully by AD62 supplying Londonium with supplies - so does this imply that it was hardly attacked in the first instance or that the original populace was able to move back to rebuild, plant and harvest their crops and reform their trading infrastructure including grain stores towards the end of AD61?
