'The Roman Wall - then & now' Guided Walk

Come along on Sunday 30th November at 1:30pm for a guided walk along the old Roman Wall!

About the walk
We will be walking the route of the old Roman Wall, starting at Tower Hill Tube and finishing at Blackfriars Tube.

The wall was built between 190AD and 225AD and defined the shape of the City of London. As the City expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries a lot of the wall was knocked down, although there is a bit left which we can see.

We will be following the wall using a 'Braun & Hogenberg' map which was drawn in 1572, it shows the wall intact and was one of the first maps to be drawn of London. Using the map, we will be able to see not only what the Roman's built, but also how the wall was adapted and what was built around it in the 16th century when the map was drawn. We can then compare this by what exists on and around the wall today, some 1800 years after it was built.

The walk will be led by myself. Maps will be provided of the route. We will walk about 2 miles and so it will take about 2 hours.
