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.
More information about the route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

13 walkers met at the alloted time and place, including 1 relative of a regular and 1 other first-timer. We then picked up 1 other at Aldgate and another one on Bevis Marks.
By that point, the group had already managed to loose the leading/non-leading walk author and it took a while for group cohesion to be restored.
Surprisingly, the majority of the group (Londoners by all means) seemed to not having seen most of the sites visited before, so the pace was slowed down by reading info panels etc.
We got to Blackfriars around 20.30, and the group then split about 50/50 into drinkers (===> The Black Friar) and eaters (===> Terra Rossa). w=dry n=15
