History
The City packs Roman Londinium, medieval parishes and post-Great Fire rebuilding into a small area; the Mithraic temple under modern streets reflects how rituals moved beneath later development.
Conservation
Small-group tours help limit wear on fragile interiors; visitors are asked to avoid touching archaeological surfaces and respect restricted access to preserved sites.
