Where was that dig? Two maps to help you find your way
If you would like to know where you are in Roman London - here are two maps to show you where all the sites are - and what happened when the Saxons came.
Roman London was established on the north side of the River Thames. A new bridge was built over the river and excavations at Southwark south of the river, on the new Jubilee line, have revealed evidence for burning by Boudica in AD 60.
When Roman London was abandoned, a new settlement was established further up river, at Lundenwic. The Royal Opera House site is the biggest so far excavated in Lundenwic. It was abandoned in 886 when the Alfred re-occupied the old Roman city: the first traces of this have been discovered at Queenhythe.
