Brief synthesis. The Tower of London is an internationally famous monument and one of Englandâs most iconic structures. William the Conqueror built the White Tower in 1066 as a demonstration of Norman power, siting it strategically on the River Thames to act as both fortress and gateway to the capital.
There are also some visible remains of the very early origins of the City of London. The longest surviving remnant of this era is the London Wall, originally built in the second century, but later expanded at around 200 AD. The four-and-a-half kilometers long (almost 3 miles) and up to four meters high (14ft) wall ran in a more or less semi circular shape from the site of the current Blackfriars station to the site of the Tower of London at Tower Hill.
