Right next to museums. A very convenient find! :)

  A similarly convenient find in London was that the Roman amphitheatre was right underneath the City of London's main museum [1], the Guildhall gallery. Because the museum is on one side of Guildhall Yard, the historic seat of the City's government. Which is located where it is because that is where the Saxon guildhall was. Which was there because it was a nice open space amongst the rubble of the old citadel when the Saxons recolonised London. Which it was because it was the old Roman amphitheatre. [1] In a sense.

  I was amazed to read that they didn't even intend to remove it and place it in a museum. They just buried it again. Apparently, an early 17th century ship wasn't a significant enough find to justify the costs of preserving it! They must have a lot of old ships around there to not want to bother. Anything like that found in the United States would end up as the star attraction in a museum for sure.
