A surviving fragment of the original 3rd century Roman Wall in Cooper`s Row near Tower Hill tube station.The London Wall was the defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium, their strategically important port town on the River Thames in what is now London, England, and subsequently maintained until the 18th century. It is now the name of a road in the City of London running along part of the course of the old wall between Wormwood Street and the Rotunda junction where St. Martin`s Le Grand meets Aldersgate Street. Until the later Middle Ages, the wall defined the boundaries of the City of London.
