Roman Basilica Unearthed in City of London
Recent excavations at 85 Gracechurch Street—an office building set for demolition and redevelopment—have revealed the remains of London’s first Roman basilica and forum.
Archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology (MoLA) have uncovered substantial sections of stone walls, built from Kentish limestone, which formed the foundation of the ancient structure. Measuring approximately 40 metres long, 20 metres wide and 12 metres high, the basilica dates back to 70–80 AD.
The discovery will be integrated into a basement visitor centre, further enriching the capital’s Roman heritage.
