If you enjoy this sort of thing and you’re ever passing through the city of London I would highly recommend stopping the Bloomberg offices and visiting the Temple of Mithras. A Roman historian friend of mine took me on a tour of the temple with the British Roman Society when it first opened. He was very impressed and told me it was one of the most faithful and high quality sites that he’s visited anywhere; including Italy. Pity they threw the original temple columns into the Thames when they first found it after the Blitz.
Entrance is free and right next to Bank tube station. Though I think you need to book in advance (unless you have friends working in the Bloomberg building).
_edit: a word_
- codedokode 7y agoI have read about this place and it is sad that they decided to move a 1700 year old temple for a temporary building that had been demolished later.
- NamTaf 7y agoThank you, I'm there in September with a couple of days free and my liver will appreciate the temporary reprieve from way too many real ales. This sounds right up my alley.
- gadders 7y agoA bunch of us from my work got taken by our Bloomberg rep. It's not a massive museum, but it is very interesting and they do their best to make it atmospheric. Definitely recommended. Link for info and to book: https://www.londonmithraeum.com/ https://www.londonmithraeum.com/
