What you can expect

  • Begin your tour beneath the streets of London at the London Mithraeum, a Roman temple hidden below a modern building. Discover the mysterious god Mithras, worshipped in secret by Roman men. See the famous image of Mithras slaying a bull beneath the stars.

    Learn how the cult of Mithras and early Christianity shared surprising ideas — light and darkness, sacrifice, rebirth, and sacred meals. Discover how two different religions offered hope in the Roman world.

    Walk along Watling Street, one of London’s oldest Roman roads, as you move from a hidden pagan temple to one of the world’s greatest Christian cathedrals.

    As you arrive at St Paul’s Cathedral, admire the magnificent dome rising above the city. Look closely at the grand exterior columns and the phoenix carved in stone — powerful symbols of rebirth and faith.

    Inside, walk through the long central nave and take in the scale and beauty of the cathedral. See the high altar with its ornate canopy, rich in Christian symbolism. Finally, head down to the crypt to see the resting places of some of Britain’s greatest figures, including the architect Sir Christopher Wren and the painter J.M.W. Turner.
