This is a fascinating short walk that explores the perimeter of London’s Roman Wall. It passes by many substantial sections of the wall that have been incorporated into the modern city of London – a real window into history. In addition to comprehensive walk notes, the route is speckled with information panels proving interesting insights into the history of London.
Plenty of watering holes and refreshment options along the route and in the Blackfriars area...

I may be wrong, but I think this was she first ever evening walk on a Monday, due to the demanding travel schedule of the walk poster, but for that it was a respectable turnout of n=7.
The rain stayed off and we indeed had a couple of punters that hadn't walked this route before and had not seen the sights either, so the walk author helped out with information.
We got to Blackfriars just after 8, I think. The Blackfriars was very busy and had no table, so we followed one guy's tip to a nearby place he used to go to when he worked in the area, Chi Noodle Bar. That was very good and we dispersed around 10 o'clock.
