Wikipedia has a page about London Stone
London Stone is a historic landmark housed at 111 Cannon Street in the City of London. It is an irregular block of oolitic limestone measuring 53 × 43 × 30 cm (21 × 17 × 12"), the remnant of a once much larger object that had stood for many centuries on the south side of the street.
The name "London Stone" was first recorded around the year 1100. The date and original purpose of the Stone are unknown, although it is possibly of Roman origin. There has been interest and speculation about it since the medieval period, but modern claims that it was formerly an object of veneration, or has some occult significance, are unsubstantiated.

![Coal tax boundary post no.84, by River Park Avenue. The location of this post is shown in [[5893315]] and [[5893319]]. See also [[5893313]].There were originally nearly 280 coal tax posts located around London, of which about 210 are still extant; around 180 of these (85%) are 3 ft high white-painted square bollards with a pyramidal top, decorative raised bands, and the shield from the City of London’s arms, like this one. Photos of the coal tax posts on Geograph are at http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=86542993&page=1 . The posts were erected under the Coal and Wine Duties (Continuation) Act of 1861 to mark the points at which duty had to be paid on coal being transported to London. The boundary was set at that of the Metropolitan Police District, and the resulting revenue was used by the Corporation of the City of London to fund public works.

![London Stone, Staines. One of a number of London Stones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stone this one stands beside the Thames in the Lammas Pleasure Ground. The stone itself is only 50 cm high. It originally stood near Staines bridge which, before canalisation, was the tidal limit of the Thames. It is 31 km as the crow flies upstream from London Bridge and marked the upstream limit of the city Corporation's control of the river.
