Roman Ruins Unearthed in London Lead to Plans for a New Museum
2025-04-22
The discovery of Roman ruins, believed to be London's first 'city hall', during excavations for a skyscraper in the City of London has led to revised plans for the building. A free museum dedicated to Roman London's history will now occupy the basement level. The museum will feature an immersive display of the ruins, educational spaces, and will be curated in partnership with the Museum of London. The development's design has been altered to accommodate the museum, including a shorter tower and fewer lifts. However, the ground floor's public hall and accompanying cafes and restaurants are expected to benefit from increased foot traffic. The amended plans are awaiting approval from the City of London.
