What to expect

  1. London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE
    10m · Admission ticket not included
    This location has been center of London for couple of thousand years. That’s where the legends came, where the Romans built a temple which is on the Bloomberg building. The mysterious cult of Mithras first appeared in Rome in the 1st century AD. It spread across the Empire over the next 300 years, predominantly attracting merchants, soldiers and imperial administrators. Meeting in temples which were often constructed below ground, these were private, dark and windowless spaces. The mythological scene of Mithras killing a bull within a cave, the ‘tauroctony’ is at the heart of the cult, and its full meaning is subject of much speculation.
  2. St. Mary Woolnoth Church
    10m
    The church's site has been used for worship for at least 2,000 years; traces of Roman and pagan religious buildings have been discovered under the foundations of the present church
  3. 10m · Admission ticket not included
    The three devilish terracotta figures are an unusual example of long-lasting revenge. They are intended to mock worshippers next door at St Peter upon Cornhill, an old city church now virtually submerged at street level by office blocks.
  4. Church Of St. Bartholomew The Great
    10m
    one of the few medieval churches to survive the ravages of the Great fire in 1666.
  5. Smithfield Market
    10m · Admission ticket included
    You will see places of execution and learn a story about Bloody Mary
