Discover the secrets of ancient Londinium, the vibrant city founded by Romans almost 2,000 years ago. While much of the Roman city has been destroyed or covered over by centuries of development, several impressive fragments of its public buildings, houses and streets survive, sometimes in surprising and unexpected locations. Join Alan as he shows you where to look for London‘s Roman remains and brings Londinium back to life before your eyes.
