Re-discovered in 1848 during the construction of the Coal Exchange, but only excavated between 1968-69 whilst the office block above was being built; it's only fairly recently been open to the public!

Pottery found at the site has dated the house to the late 2nd century, and at the time it would would have been at the waterfront of the Thames. Your very knowledgeable guide will go into lots of detail about the history and layout of the site, so get booking!
