The Walls of Londinium: A Concrete Jungle

After traveling through time and space and a couple tunnel stops I arrived at the start of the London wall. The wall transports one back to a time were life was more simple and there was a whole lot less concrete. Throughout the walk there was a strong contrast between the "concrete" ruins and buildings and the hidden oasis' that were hidden among them. The contrast between old and new and concrete and life expressed London's desire to remember their history without stunting their growth as a country. The little oasis' that seemed to be hidden everywhere are reminders that though this is the financial side of town it is not always straitlaced business men and women but Londoners enjoying themselves and embracing their history.
