Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
The corner of a Roman fort that is older than the wall, laid open by the Blitz.

Around AD 120, eighty years before the city wall, the army built a fort here at Cripplegate, and when the wall came it was joined onto the fort's west and north sides. So along Noble Street the wall is double: the fort's thinner wall with the city wall thickening it on the outside, and at the south end the rounded internal turret of the fort's south-west corner. All of it stood under buildings until the bombing of 1940 cleared them, and it was left as a sunken garden, viewed from the pavement above. The ground here is the ground the legions walked on.
