Also in Monuments & Ruins.

Built around AD 150 on what was then the riverfront, given a bath suite a century later, and lived in until Roman London ended in the early 400s: the only Roman house in London you can walk through. Found in 1848 when the Coal Exchange was built and kept under it, then kept again under the office block that replaced the Exchange in the 1960s. From walkways over the remains you look down into the hot room with the pillars of the hypocaust still standing, the cold plunge, and the walls of the house around them. Access is by guided tour with a City Guide, an hour long, and children need to be eight or over.
