The Temple of Mithras

Another relic of Roman “Londinium,” this foundation of a temple was dug up in another part of the city, and today sits between a construction site and a car park (as does pretty much everything in London these days).  As temples go, this one looks pretty small, no more than 30 feet long and 10 feet wide – more like the Carport of Mithras.  Some garbage littered the site, though not so much that it leaves the impression that the Temple gets regular attention (“Friends of the Temple of Mithras” I might suppose, membership £35).  Could possibly be a venue for Olympic table tennis.  Admission is free.
