London Stories


It's amazing what you find when you dig a hole in London. This particular hole is in Southwark on the South bank of the Thames near London Bridge, the Shard can clearly be seen behind the site. Workers building the foundations for new buildings uncovered a set of huge Roman mosaics on raised platforms, that are believed to be part of a mausoleum structure for the funerals of well to-do Romans. They also found coins, shoes, pottery, roof tiles and metal objects. Discovered in 2022 it's planned that the finds will be restored and put on permanent public display.
