London Wall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising substantial remains of the defensive wall that encircled Roman Londinium from the early second century AD onwards. The surviving section extends westward from All Hallows Church to 38 Camomile Street and represents both the Roman core construction and later medieval rebuilding and maintenance of the fortification. The wall was originally built of Ragstone with a tile and mortar bonding, rising to a considerable height, and was subsequently reinforced and repaired during the medieval period as the city's primary defensive barrier. This monument constitutes one of the most significant surviving stretches of London's Roman city walls and demonstrates the continuity of urban fortification from the Roman period through to the medieval and early modern era.
