You can find sections of Roman London still standing in public free to visit in several places, here is one of my favourites.
On this site stands a surviving piece of London's city wall.
The landward wall was constructed between AD190-220 and ran a distance of 3km (2miles).
It was one of the most extensive works undertaken in Londinium
The Roman city wall was 2.7m (9ft) thick at the base and stood over 6m (20ft) in height.
This large, defensive boundary had an important influence on the City's devclopment.
It continued to be of importance through the post-Roman and Medieval periods when it was strengthened and extended in height. This section of the wall shows both the Roman and the Medieval parts of the wall. In the Roman section of the wall you can see four tile bonding courses and facing stones laid in roughly regular courses.
In the upper medical section, the facing stones are less regular. In places the rubble core of the wall is visible where the facing stones are now missing. #thelondonspy #davidharry #romanlondon #londonwall #romanbritain #toweroflondon #londonhistory #londonguide

The actor Oswald Laurence, who made the recordings for the Northern line in the late 1960s/ early 1970s. His wife Margaret used to come to Embankment station after his death to hear his voice. Tragically one day in 2012 they stopped using it. Heartbroken she asked and they were able to find it and put it back, where it is still used today. #londonunderground #embankmentstation #mindthegap #londonguide #tourguide #davidharry #thelondonspy #lovestory

A momentous moment in royal history shortly before a huge shock.
George V, Edward VIII, George VI and a very young Elizabeth Il plus Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother all together in 1935 at a thanksgiving service in St Paul's Cathedral. Little did anyone know what was to happen. George V would die within a few months, his successor Edward VIll would abdicate and his brother George VI would rule, and Princess Elizabeth would become next in line to the throne.
