Walking Tour of Roman London led by Dr Simon Elliott, Roman specialist, author and London guide

Today most of the remains of Londinium are 7 metres below your feet. 2000 years of building, fire and bombs have hidden much of the Roman settlement. Many fascinating items have been discovered during foundation works for new buildings and archaeological digs. This guided walk will take you past remains of Roman London that are still visible and will visit some of the sites where Roman artefacts are on display. The sites visited on this gentle walk will include City Wall at Vine Street, the London Mithraeum and the Roman Amphitheatre under London’s Guildhall.

Dr Simon Elliott, historian, archaeologist, author and London guide will lead the tour. Simon regularly appears on international and national media as a presenter and expert and speaks on his research to universities, schools, history societies and archaeological groups. He is co-Director of Teston Roman Villa excavation in Kent and regularly carries out other archaeological fieldwork. He is also a Trustee of the Council for British Archaeology and an Ambassador for Museum of London Archaeology.
