Pre-War History
Deconstruction of the London Wall began in 1760 and continued into the 19th century, parts of it incorporated into buildings along its length. Otherwise most sections were demolished and all that remained was a road by the same name featuring the Museum of London and a few remaining bricks commemorating where it once stood.

Post-War History
London Wall has been rebuilt and turned into a tall defensive perimeter that protects against tunnel cough by physically dividing the city from the exclusion zone.
