Bishops Square

Bishops Square sits atop one of the most significant archaeological sites in London. During the redevelopment of this area, archaeologists uncovered a sprawling ancient Roman cemetery directly beneath where you are standing. If you look for the glass panels near the entrance of One Bishops Square, you can peer down into a preserved charnel house, where researchers once studied the remains of thousands of people from the Roman to the medieval periods. This site serves as a physical bridge between the modern corporate towers of the City and the deep, centuries-old layers of London's past.
