London Wall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising substantial remains of the Roman and medieval defensive circuit that enclosed the City of London. The site at Newgate and 121-124 Newgate Street preserves evidence of the Roman wall, built in the late second century, and the medieval gateway of Newgate itself, which formed one of the principal entrances to the City. Archaeological investigation has revealed a bastion associated with the Roman fortifications, demonstrating the sophisticated military engineering of the period. The survival of these stratified remains, encompassing both Roman and medieval phases of construction and use, provides essential evidence for understanding the defensive architecture and urban development of London from the Roman period through the medieval era.
