A section of one of Britain’s most important Roman roads has been unearthed under Old Kent Road in south-east London.
Known as Watling Street, the near 2,000-year-old road ran from the Roman port at Dover through London to the West Midlands.
Archaeological work has been taking place as part of the expansion of Southwark’s heating network by the local council and utilities company Veolia.
Southwark Council said its discovery provides the first physical proof that sections of the ancient route survive directly beneath its modern counterpart.
