Ancient London Monument
The London Stone.

The London Stone is a fragment of a 3,000 year old piece of limestone that for years was considered to be the symbolic heart of London.

Its age and original purpose are not known, although it has been suggested that it was the point from which the Romans measured all distances in Britannia.

The London Stome History

For hundreds of years, The London Stone was recognized as the symbolic authority and heart of the City of London. It was the place that deals were forged, and oaths were sworn. It was also the point from which official proclamations were made. The 15th-century rebel Jack Cade, popular leader of those who rebelled against Henry VI in 1450, observed the tradition by striking his sword against it as a symbol of sovereignty after his forces entered London to protest about the King's taxes; on striking the stone, he then felt emboldened to declare himself 'lord of the city', according to the historian Raphael Holinshed.
