London Mithraeum, Roman temple in City of London, United Kingdom.

The underground temple contains a rectangular chamber with stone walls, dedicated to the god Mithras, positioned beneath the Bloomberg European headquarters building.

Discovered in 1954 during post-war reconstruction, this third-century Roman temple represents the religious practices of merchants and soldiers in ancient Londinium.

The temple exhibits stone carvings, altars, and artifacts that demonstrate the worship ceremonies conducted by Roman followers of the Mithraic mysteries.

Located near Bank station, the London Mithraeum offers free admission with advance reservations and opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays.

Archaeological excavations revealed over 14,000 Roman artifacts at this site, including coins, pottery fragments, and a marble head of Serapis deity.
