London Wall, Roman defensive wall in City of London, United Kingdom.
The London Wall stretches around the historic City of London with sections reaching up to six meters in height and three meters in width.
Construction of the defensive wall started around 200 CE, enclosing the Roman settlement of Londinium with five main gates connecting to principal Roman roads.
The wall's gates influenced modern London districts, with names like Aldgate, Bishopsgate, and Ludgate preserved in current street nomenclature.
Several sections of the ancient wall remain visible at Tower Hill, Noble Street, and Barbican, with dedicated viewing platforms at the Museum of London.
The underground car park beneath London Wall street contains preserved sections of the original Roman fortification accessible to the public.
