What to expect
This is a walking tour at your own pace, with audio commentary delivered through your smartphone. You'll navigate between surviving wall fragments scattered across central London—some are exposed ruins, others integrated into later buildings. The route is designed for all fitness levels and wheelchair accessibility is good on most sections, though some older pavements may be uneven. Expect to spend 1–2 hours depending on how long you linger at each stop. The app provides context about each location's role in London's evolution, from Roman military engineering through to Victorian urban planning.
Good to know
Download the VoiceMap app before you start and ensure your phone is fully charged. Bring your own headphones. The tour works offline once downloaded, but you'll need internet initially. Comfortable walking shoes are essential. Some wall sections are in museums (not included), though many visible sections are free to view from the street.
