London was once surrounded by a 20ft high wall, built almost 2,000 years ago by the Romans.
Amazingly, large chunks of it remain. Some are obvious - like right outside Tower Hill Tube Station. However there are also hidden sections which most people don't know about - like the piece under an office by St Paul's, or in a car park!
In this video I'm tracing the visible remains of London's Roman Wall from Tower Hill to Ludgate, sharing the best places to find this incredible bit of history.
