Wall to Wall Review

Do the self-guided walking tour as it's so much fun to "discover" the wall!

A large Object Entirely made from the rickety bones of the Poor

The wall was built in 2nd or 3rd century, so not much left to see these days! However it's cool to pay a visit

The site is right at the exit of the metro and has several points to see, the Roman wall, the views of the Tower, an emblematic sundial where olive is the history of London since the beginning of time.

It's fun to explore the London Wall. Many clues can be found on the Internet and on information boards on site. Some parts are quite obvious, others are hidden and / or inconspicuous. For history lovers only recommended, you can play at the same time something Sherlock Holmes, the more beautiful, if you can see his better half dr. Watson has. Have fun and success, it's not easy to find all the leftovers in one go. If you like, you can enter missing stations (there is a number of info points defined by the London Museum) in Google Maps.

The Tower of London is probably the most famous Palace / Castle / Fortress in the world. What a terrific place to visit. The Queen regularly wears the Crown Jewels which are expensive, but the really priceless residents of the Tower are the Ravens. Legend says that the kingdom and the Tower will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress. It was Charles II, according to the stories, who first insisted that the ravens of the Tower should be protected. The centrally positioned White Tower is one of the most important historic buildings in the world. It s part of a World Heritage Site and is an example of Norman Architecture. Inside is a unique Romanesque Chapel, the beautiful 11th-century Chapel of St John the Evangelist (c.1079) and the The Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula (1520 AD). The White Tower also houses the magnificent Royal Armouries collections, including the 300 year old exhibition Line of Kings as well as treasures of the Royal Armouries. There are arms and armour on display including the magnificent royal armours of Henry VIII (checkout how well his nether regions were protected), Charles I and James II. Another highlight for my Wife and I was Sir Walter Raleigh's cell in the Bloody Tower. What amazing history!

Take your picture with Trajan and read the panels. If you're seeing the Tower, this is an easy pick-up site along the way and gives you some sense of the scope of time associated with this ground. Easily done while passing through the Tower Station tube stop. Can be seen, read, and pictured in ten minutes or so.

Truly amazing to see historical remains in this ever changing glass architectural city.

Awesome history and chance to walk the old Roman walls

Unfortunately, only remnants can be seen. Still a historically interesting part of London.

Large section of Roman Wall plus medieval add on. Next section South has been lost to roads and Tower of London.

Beautiful place! Imposing and fascinating. Maybe it's not the first stop for many, but if you have time it's good to drop by!

Amazing to see something from the roman period in London.

Piece of Roman history in London. Beautiful view of the Tower of London.

Remains of a section of the ancient Roman walls. A sign indicates how the city walls were structured at the time and the points where it is possible to see the remains.

Very spacious with the castle view right in front of you.
Not too many seating spaces, but that's fine as it allows for more room.
Visited on a lovely warm day with a cool breeze. Perfect for reading 10/10 would recommend to a friend

A must visit in London, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge are right next door.

Many things to see have appreciated the architecture we love.

During the Great Fire of London in September 1666, almost the entire medieval city of London within the wall was destroyed. The seven gates to the city of London, with many repairs and reconstruction over the years, remained until they were all demolished between 1760 and 1767. The work of demolishing the walls continued into the 19th century; however, large sections of the wall have been incorporated into other structures. Some of the ruins visible in the bomb-damaged City during the Blitz in World War II were remnants of the London city wall.
All that remains of the wall are a few sections (albeit substantial), some of which can be seen in the gardens of the London Museum, at the Barbican Estate and around Tower Hill. A section near the London Museum was unveiled on Noble Street, following the devastation of an air strike on December 29, 1940, at the height of the Blitz. Another visible section is in St Alphage Gardens, and other sections form part of the walls or foundations of modern buildings and are only visible from within those buildings. One of the largest and most easily accessible fragments of the wall is just outside the tower's tube station Monte, with a replica statue of Emperor Trajan standing in front of it.

A small part of roman London in a modern busy city worth seeing if you are close but better examples elsewhere

Few Roman vestiges are left in the widow of London. This section of wall along with others that are in the area (you have to look for them on the internet, because they are quite hidden) inform us about the Roman presence that the city had. It is freely accessible being on the same street.

Marking the original boundaries of London (Londinium) this wall is one of the last major building projects undertaken by the Romans before leaving.

A nice place to walk, nice view for you to take pictures and nice attractions too.

Trump should refer to this for his wall. Amazing how it is almost 2,000 years old.

By definition, a wall. But not just any wall, a Roman wall. A stretch of Roman wall in central London. The oldest wall in the city, very close to another of the oldest sites (the Tower). In itself, nothing exciting, one might think in seeing it. In fact, it is of great suggestion if we pause to reflect on how many and which historical events it witnesses. And what survived. It deserves a pass and a few minutes of contemplation.

Metro exit. Very nice overview of the architecture of the corner

Very accessible given that it is right next to the metro. The ideal is to go with a guide who tells you the story because otherwise you would pass by and you would not even notice that. Or at least you would not understand what it is about. If you have little time to be in London, it's not worth getting here on purpose.

The crown jewels are amazing and very interesting history.

Historical landmark of the time of the Romans, cool to see and read about and imagine how far it went, but it's just the same wall.

Beautiful and old. Down the river, there is a river cruise. There are many old buildings in

A remnant of the third century Roman wall fortification and subsequent additions/ alterations forming the first segment in the London Wall residue walkabout*.
Expert Heritage Industry signage to assist your exploratory ambulations with appropriate contextualisation.
The territory here smothered in high-density footfall, neither conducive to idling nor lingering. Although maintained and renovated, now once again needs reimagining and reinventing.
*Outdated guidance information; a toiling traffic-fume trudge and best avoided.

Interesting remains of the walls and fortress of old London are located near the so-called London Bridge. They are not very attractive but after crossing the bridge it is nice to visit these sights of the city.
