| | London, England |
 | | The only large residential portion of the City is the Barbican Centre, a concrete complex of towers, parking garages, and pedestrian walkways located on the northern edge of the City. |
 | | Other elements of the urban fabric were a forum, a temple complex, a governor's palace, a wharf along the river for landing, a large fort (portions of which can still be seen at the Barbican Centre), and a great wall, built about AD 200, which roughly enclosed the area that later became the City. |
 | | Eventually the inner city was ringed by lavish railway stations, such as Saint Pancras, a sort of medieval fairy-tale castle built in the 1860s. |
