London Wall

The London Wall was a defensive wall first built by the Romans around the strategically important port town of Londinium in c. AD 200. It has origins as an initial mound wall and ditch from c. AD 100 and an initial fort, now called Cripplegate fort after the city gate that was positioned within its northern wall later on, built in 120-150 where it was then expanded upon by Roman builders into a city-wide defence.
