  • Four unusual places to see London's Roman Wall: from a Tube platform, behind a hotel, from a cafe terrace, and in a car park.
  • Tower Hill station's platform 1 hides a recess with original Roman wall remnants, though much was destroyed during the Circle line's construction in 1882.
  • Behind the Leonardo Royal Hotel, a significant medieval and Roman wall section includes red brick layers and a walkable arch.
  • The City Wall at Vine Street offers a well-lit Roman wall display in a basement, overlooked by a cafe terrace.
  • London Wall car park contains a well-preserved Roman wall segment, protected by concrete blocks and a glass screen.
