I didn't expect much. I thought it would be a hole in the ground with stones and such and it was.. and much more!
The presentation is impeccable. My wife is a senior architect that worked on the houses of Parliament (yes, I say that when ever I can) and she was impressed as well. They create walls and pillars just with mist and shadows and the lighting is excellent. It was more informative than I expected as well. There is a wall of artifacts and plenty to read. Even if I e wasn't particularly interested in it, they would be glad they saw it.. and it's free, which is rare where I come from. The photos don't do the room justice because I did it in night setting to absorb everything.

A wonderful hidden gem in London. The immersive experience was visually stunning. The exhibit itself is informative and the staff were very helpful and willing to give us an introduction to the exhibit. The visit is free but booking is recommended via their website.

I thought is was only the temple remains to see here, was surprised!! There was an art exhibition in the first room, then a display with some pots and other archaeological finds.
There were two other floors, one with some info and light displays as well as head statues, then you wait, for every twenty minutes you can go down and see the temple, where there was a little presentation with lights and sounds.

Visited August 2022. What an amazing experience - free to enter (book your tickets online first, no walk ins) and really top shelf venue and curated experience.

The site is not large, but it is entirely genuine and the effects are brilliant. Beautiful touch with the archeological finds from the site on show before you enter the main exhibit.

The main event is timed and controlled, and well run. Well worth 30 minutes to see and experience a piece of London's ancient history!

Great if you just want a quick visit, and interesting subject that archaeologists know relatively little about. Probably not suitable for young children. Took about 20 minutes for the whole experience but Great you can see Roman remains in Central London for free.

Free museum with roman temple ruins. Interesting display of artifacts found at excavation site and innovative light effect presentation of the ruins 2 floors below. A wonderful surprise. It was somewhat tricky to find but really worth it. The presentation takes about 6 minutes and there are not many people so you have the place to yourself. Photos do not do justice to the place. Must see in person.

A lovely little museum that preserved a unique piece of history. There also several interesting Rome artifacts that were found that are definitely worthy of a look. Make sure to book online as you may have to wait otherwise if there are too many people (or in my case school children) inside. The access is free and you'll also get to enjoy a unique moder installation that is changed every few months to compliment the mithraeum piece.
