Overview

History & significance

London Wall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the substantial remains of the medieval and Roman defensive wall that formerly enclosed the City of London. The visible section, measuring approximately 75 yards (68 metres) in length, extends northward from Trinity Place to the railway line and represents part of the circuit that was constructed initially during the Roman period, likely in the late second century, and subsequently maintained and rebuilt during the medieval period. The wall displays characteristics typical of Roman military construction in its lower courses, whilst upper portions reflect medieval reconstruction and reinforcement. This fragment constitutes an important archaeological and historical record of London's urban defences spanning nearly two millennia, from the Roman occupation through the medieval period.
