The recent discovery of Roman ruins in central London has prompted developers to revise their plans for a new skyscraper, now integrating a public museum of Roman London into the basement. Uncovered during archaeological excavations by MOLA, the ruins are believed to be part of the original 'city hall.' The project now shifts focus, converting basement space for exhibitions, while changes to the building's core will slightly shorten the tower. The development still aims to enhance public access and the cultural experience near Leadenhall Market.
The discovery of Roman ruins beneath London has transformed a planned skyscraper into a site dedicated to the city's ancient history, fostering public engagement with heritage.
Significant changes to the original tower design have occurred as developers rethink how to integrate the discovered Roman ruins into a new, accessible public museum.
