Visitor Information

The City is where London (or Londinium as it was first known) began and some vestiges of the Roman occupation, which began in AD 43, can be seen around the Square Mile. Here, visitors can view the remains of a Roman fort from a raised walkway, built to ensure that the ancient archaeological site is preserved. Remnants of the City’s wall, built as a defense, can be seen in various locations, the foundations of the Roman Temple of Mithras have been unearthed near Queen Victoria Street and London’s only Roman Amphitheatre was discovered under Guildhall Art Gallery in 1988. This site is also believed to be one of the last remaining examples of a World War II bomb site within the City.
