London has its newest museum that showcases the Roman Wall of London:

Although the huge slab of Roman wall is the star of the show, there’s a lot more to see here as the side of the room has been filled with artefacts from the local area that have been uncovered over the decades by archaeologists. They’re now on display, many for the first time.
 

The bulk of the wall is made of Kentish ragstone, and you can see the classic red tiles that were inserted into Roman walls to give them added strength. There are some holes cut into the wall that are described as being cut later to let people see the wall as it was slowly submerged by later buildings and warehouses. A small section of Roman tiled floor has survived, and off to one side, you can see more modern brickwork that’s been embedded into the Roman wall.
