## Image Caption

On Cannon Street in the [City](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) of London, you can watch the London Stone. The stone's origin is unknown, but its importance as a landmark throughout London’s long history is almost incomparable, especially when thinking about the simplicity of the stone. Historians and scientists alike have failed to trace the stones original propose, but a myriad of legends are connected with it.
