Hopefully you have twenty minutes to spare before visiting the church because I just want to show you where the old Roman wall once stood. Have a walk up Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill to St. Martin's church (it's just before St. Paul's Cathedral). If you stand on the doorstep then you're standing on the site of Lud Gate, one of the seven ancient gates into the city. Sadly there's no trace of it above ground anymore because it got torn down around 1760, but some of its statuary still survives...
