Billingsgate Roman House and Baths
Billingsgate Roman House and Baths, Roman bath complex in Lower Thames Street, England
The archaeological site contains remnants of a late second-century house and third-century bathhouse with cold, warm, and hot rooms in the courtyard.
The remains were first uncovered in 1848 during Coal Exchange construction, making this location the first preserved archaeological site in the City of London.
The complex demonstrates Roman bathing practices, featuring a frigidarium, tepidarium, and caldarium heated by external furnaces through an underfloor system.
Tours operate on Saturdays from April to November, requiring advance booking at £12 for adults and £10 for children over eight years old.
A Saxon brooch discovered among collapsed roof debris indicates continued activity at the site after the Roman departure from Britain.
