London Wall is a Roman defensive structure forming part of the eastern fortification of the fort at Londinium, dating to the late first or early second century AD. The remains comprise substantial sections of the original fort wall and associated gate structure, which survive beneath modern ground level in the Aldermanbury area of the City of London. The fort served as a military installation during the early Roman occupation, and its walls represent important evidence of Roman military engineering and urban planning in Britain. The site's preservation beneath later medieval and modern development has ensured the survival of archaeological material that continues to inform understanding of Roman London's defensive infrastructure and topographical development.
