Walk Roman London …… and discover the Billingsgate house and baths ….. tomorrow on Zoom

I have become a great fan of the Guildhall Library’s afternoon talks.


So far since January the topics have included Dan Dare, Medieval St Paul’s and a host of others.

They are held on zoom and you have to prebook.

Tomorrows will be on the “Billingsgate Roman House and Baths,  a 2nd-5th century house in the city of London, which will be a virtual tour around a Roman domestic house and bathhouse that is under 101 Lower Thames Street in the City of London. 

Find out about the development of the house from the 2nd century when it was first constructed through to its eventual abandonment in the early 5th century AD. 

Later that century someone visited the ruins of the house and dropped a brooch of Germanic design, which gives us a small insight into the events that would lead to the transformation of Britannia into England”.
