London Wall: section from underground railway to Tower Hill is a surviving stretch of the Roman defensive fortification that enclosed the City of London. Constructed in the late second or early third century AD, the wall formed part of the extensive circuit that protected the Roman settlement of Londinium, and substantial portions of it remain visible above ground at this location near Tower Hill. The masonry survives to a considerable height and demonstrates the characteristic Roman construction technique employing flint and ragstone set in mortar, with evidence of medieval and later repairs. This section represents one of the most significant archaeological and architectural remains from Roman Britain, preserving important evidence of urban military engineering and the strategic development of Roman London.
