The Roman Wall In London Nobody Notices

The London Wall, raised by Roman soldiers around the year two hundred, has outlasted the fall of Rome, Viking raids, the Norman Conquest, the Great Fire, the Blitz and every empire that tried to replace it. This is the story of how a defensive wall meant to last a few generations became the most stubborn survivor in the City of London, hiding in plain sight while nearly everything built to replace it crumbled around it. The thread running through it all: the wall survived not because anyone protected it, but because it was too big, too useful, or too buried to remove, until the moment London finally chose, on purpose, to keep it.
