Looks like it might be the London mint.

I only have one Medieval coin - also an Edward I London penny (below) but there seem to be some differences in the legends between my coin and yours. My coin was issued between 1279 and 1281 so your coin might have been one of the other issues.

Regards,

Alex.

I agree with Alex, it does look like the London mint - despite the missing part of the coin, what looks like CIVITAS LO....N can be seen, which would indicate the London mint.
