Description

London is a modern city but how did it start? Join us on a tour that looks at London's beginnings when, following the Roman invasion of Britannia, a new trading town was born called Londinium.

You'll go on a journey through history and see the Roman wall (which pops up in the most unexpected of places), enter the amphitheatre where gladiators once battled, walk in the steps of the Romans where the forum and basilica once stood (and learn about the bonkers place where a piece still exists), learn about the strange Temple of Mithras, and gaze upon artefacts, pavements, gravestones and an odd Roman stone in a church that few people notice (how did it get there?). You'll even learn about the location of a temple to the Roman goddess Diana, hiding in plain sight.
