Step free access to the remains of an impressive subterranean Roman temple

The Temple of Mithras was built by the Romans about 240AD. It was dedicated to the Roman god, Mithras who it is said killed a bull in a cave and the subterranean temple is a representation of the cave. The ruins of the temple were initially discovered in the 1950s and at the time there was a lot of interest, with people queuing for hours to see it. In the 1960s the temple was moved and reconstructed. The London Mithraeum houses the remains of the temple which has been moved again, back to it's original position and restored.
