Hidden beneath the busy streets of London ( you probably passed by it and never knew it was it!), the London Mithraeum offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's ancient past.
Step back in time to the Roman era as you explore the ruins of the Temple of Mithras, one of the most mysterious cults in ancient Rome. With immersive displays and artefacts that bring history to life, this is an archaeological adventure like no other, straight in the city of London !

‘‘Would be insane to miss this if you are anywhere near Bank station. 20-30 min free visit to a secret Roman cellar cult! Beautifully preserved and so atmospheric with the light and music - clever use of shadows to depict the missing columns.
Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. You do need to book ahead and be aware that the displays run every 20min ( plenty to read while you wait).’’

If you are a history freak this place is a must. And even if not it is a hidden gem. The artefacts are so well preserved that it is simply impressive !
