My parents took me to London aged 9 in 1968 and when we went down the Mall I was fascinated by the Citadel . I’d already seen a couple of Bond movies including Goldfinger and it reminded me of Fort Knox. There were lots of weirdly dressed hippies there too.

I’m writing a story set in London, in particular in the City of London. (Yes, I’m talking about the historic City of London, not greater London.) There is a terrible battle, and a small group of people need to find a place to set up a redoubt that has a chance against modern weapons.

Are there any other buildings similar to the Citadel either in the City of London, or just north east of it? Many thanks for any information.
