Belonging to one of the oldest parts of London, archeological evidence shows that there was a settlement on the hill in the Bronze Age and much later a Roman village that was burnt down during the Boudicca uprising.

The church All Hallows-by-the-Tower is renowned for fragments of Romanesque architecture dating back to the year 680.
