La Pierre de Londres, située au 111 Cannon Street

La Pierre de Londres (London Stone en anglais) est une pierre trouvée à Cannon Street dans la cité de Londres au Royaume-Uni et qui pourrait être un ultime reste du cercle de pierres qui se tenait au sommet de Ludgate Hill, à l'endroit où se dresse aujourd'hui la Cathédrale Saint-Paul.

Le roi Lud a vécu aux alentours de 73 avant J.C. dans la cité qu'il a agrandie, sous le Caer-Ludd (Château de Lud). À sa mort, il fut enterré à l'endroit le plus élevé, connu aujourd'hui sous le nom de Ludgate.
