SUBSCRIBE: - London's Roman Walls, London (England). And you thought that London did not have a Wall (partially still Roman)? Wrong! Check this video out and if you do not know where it is, look for hints in the beginning of the video. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. London Wall was the defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium, their strategically important port town on the River Thames in what is now the United Kingdom, and subsequently maintained until the 18th century. It is now the name of a road in the City of London running along part of the course of the old wall between Wormwood Street and the Rotunda junction where St. Martin's Le Grand meets Aldersgate Street. Until the later Middle Ages the wall defined the boundaries of the City of London.

Tuesday afternoon drive into the City Of London, a major meeting point for businesses worldwide. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business center. Highlights include entering the city on the A10 roadway, the London Wall road, once the defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium, and ending near the intersection where the Bank of England is located.
The City of London is the primary central business district (CBD) of London. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London.
The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase the city of London by capitalizing City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City.
About three quarters of the jobs in the City of London are in the financial, professional, and associated business services sectors.
The City is a major business and financial centre. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centres of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City, around Lloyd's building. A secondary financial district exists outside the City, at Canary Wharf.
The Ancient World in London - Londinium & London Wall
( ) Nicole Favish goes on a tour of Roman London with Ian Smith, exploring what it was that the Romans left behind. Their journey takes them to see the remains of the Roman Wall near Tower Hill, and Ian explains the bloody history behind Londinium. From how Boudica massacred the entire city, to how executions were a public spectacle outside the Tower of London, Ian explains the key role the Romans played in London's ancient history.

The London Wall was a defensive wall that used to encircle a part of what is now Central London. The protective wall was 1st built by the Ancient Romans when the city was called Londinium and served as the capital of Roman Britain. The wall remained intact through the Middle Ages, but was mostly demolished in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the city expanded beyond the ancient and medieval city boundaries. In some cases parts of the old wall were incorporated into buildings.
A few sections of the old wall still stand. There's a street in London named London Wall that runs along part of the old course of the wall. The section of the wall you see here is located next to the Museum of London, a small museum that documents the history of the city of London.
This is Bastion 14. It may have been built by the Ancient Romans. Or it could have been added to the London Wall by the Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great (849-899) when he rebuilt the old Roman wall around the city. Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, united all the Angle, Saxon, and Jute kingdoms of England under his rule, becoming the 1st de facto king of a unified England. He also faced attacks by Vikings or Norsemen aka. Danes, which was probably another reason for him to fortify the city of London by rebuilding and improving the old Roman wall.

ROMAN AMPHITHEATRES ARE LARGE, CIRCULAR OR OVAL OPEN-AIR VENUES WITH RAISED SEATING. THEY WERE USED FOR EVENTS SUCH AS GLADIATOR COMBATS, CHARIOT RACES, VENATIONES (ANIMAL SLAYINGS) AND EXECUTIONS.
About 230 Roman amphitheatres have been found across the area of the Roman Empire, however, in the UK only a handful of examples remain to this day.
The Minories eagle and serpent sculpture, described as exceptionally well preserved, goes on display at the Museum of London today. For those whose appetite has been whetted for Roman treasures, here are some of the best you can find around Britain.
Hadrian's Wall
An obvious one, but this is a must-see for anyone interested in Roman culture.
It runs for around 80 miles across northern England. Of the many forts and settlements along its length, Housesteads and Vindolanda are the stars, followed by Birdoswald and Chesters. Recent museum openings mean this is a great time to visit Hadrian's bequest to Britain

The Roman walls of London

My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced over 1,700 original films. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
The Gates Of The City Of London
The City of London was once surrounded by a defensive wall, originally built by the Romans and enlarged in the middle ages. It was served by several gates, whose names are still in evidence today.
Editor-at-Large of Londonist Matt Brown takes us on a tour around the sites of these gates, and looks for the clues that remain.
Let us know in the comments what Beatles song you think we're referring to!

LONDON WALK | Whitehall to Downing Street to Parliament Square | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour from Whitehall to Parliament Square, including outside the entrance to Downing Street - home to the British Prime Minister.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring Whitehall to Parliament Square. The route begins close to Horse Guards Parade, moving south down Whitehall onto Parliament Street, ending at Parliament Square.
Sights seen along the tour include the Earl Haig Memorial, The Women of World War II monument, Downing Street, police on horseback, The Cenotaph memorial, red telephone boxes, Westminster Station, statues of George Canning, Ian Christian Smuts, David Lloyd George and Sir Winston Churchill, Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded May 2017.
