London Wall/London Wall
London, UK - elaine - Thursday, April 6th, 2006 : goo

the 2000ish year old wall which surrounds the city of london is still intact in parts, and deliniates 'the city' of london.

Awesome! I love old buildings and things, I love thinking about the people who were alive when that wall was built and what they did, how they used it, what their lives were like, etc. Brilliant! Are there more still-intact bits?
elaine: 6th Apr 2006 - 14:34 GMT
yeah. it would be a good walk to go round it. it pretty much looks like it does here, obviously what is left of it is kept intact, but you can go right up to it and touch it.

thats really great that its accessable. i like how the road just runs right up beside it. if it were here in america, theyd have it surrounded by a fence, cluttered with signs and plaques and have guards checking you for bombs if you came within 25' of it...
id love to see some closeups, if youre ever round there again...

it's quite sensitively done. unlike stonehenge which is virtually imprisoned.
elaine: 6th Apr 2006 - 14:45 GMT
i believe that the word 'graft' for 'work' comes from this time.
of course it was built for the romans by the locals - to keep themselves out

london is my favorite place for history. i am so into the round table and knighthood. the blitz. the tower. the greatest literature, arts and comedy, so cowardesque.

it's little trinkets of history like that, hidden gem you just stumble across which makes London the bestest western city.
