Map needed

This article needs a good map showing exactly where the wall route was in relation to current London. -69.87.203.235 (talk) 20:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There need to be an explanation as to why the London wall was rebuild & heighten during the medieval period.

I think there need to be an explanation as to why the London wall was rebuild & heighten during the medieval period. What prompt the reconstruction i.e. which "war" and was it penetrated by an opposing army? As I seen the walls myself and the medieval construction looks hasty reconstructed with bits of "old" Roman red titles dotted around the medieval construction and the lack of textual care as compared with the more finer civil-pride base Roman construction.
