The London Mithraeum (Temple of Mithras) is a Roman Mithraeum discovered in 1954 during construction on Walbrook street in the City of London [1]. The entire temple was dismantled and relocated to allow continued building work, making it perhaps the most famous 20th-century Roman discovery in London [1]. The temple dates to the 2nd–4th century AD and was dedicated to the mystery god Mithras [1]. Bloomberg purchased the site in 2010 and restored the temple, reopening it in 2017 at its original excavated position beneath new Bloomberg European headquarters [1].
