Get up-close and personal with the border dragons

Within London City there exists the The City of London. This area, roughly the size of a square mile city, is protected by dragons that guard the main roads into the city from perfidious invaders. The 14 dragons of London, cast-iron statues of dragons on plinths demarcate entry thresholds into the City of London. This boundary constitutes with the Roman settlement in the 1st century AD extended to the Middle Ages. Today this contains the historic center and primary central business district.

Although the wall is gone, the old inner city is to this date still a separate entity within London City and is evermore guarded by 14 dragons. Early August 2023 I took about 1500 pictures while walking the 10 Kilometer perimeter. This is the story of that walk.
