Cultural Walks
Step into Londinium’s streets on a two-hour journey through time. Along the way, we’ll pause at remarkable sites such as the London Mithraeum, dedicated to the mysterious god Mithras; the Roman amphitheatre, once alive with the sounds of spectacles and gatherings; and surviving stretches of the London Wall, a powerful reminder of the city’s defences. Each stop will reveal a different facet of life in Roman London, from religion and entertainment to trade and fortifications.
To enrich the walk, you can explore our resources below. The Map of Londinium helps you visualise the city’s gates, walls, and key landmarks. The Timeline of Roman Britain sets Londinium’s story against the wider backdrop of conquest, settlement, and eventual decline. The Roman Empire Map places Britain within the vast network of territories ruled from Rome at its greatest extent. Finally, the Roman Britain Map zooms in on the island around AD 150, showing Londinium’s role among other Roman towns and forts. Together, these pages give both a local and global perspective, making the walk not just a stroll through London, but a window onto the Roman world.
