What visitors say
Fantastic museum, one of the best I've visited for it's facilities and design. Amazing 5 minute light and audio display, followed by free viewing of the ruins, it's reconstruction of the atmosphere of the temple was very impressive. The display and interactive tablets showcasing the artefacts is brilliant and some of the best exhibition information displays I've experienced. Great friendly staff and free, not to miss! Toilet facilities and seating on the lower floor (non on the ground level with artefact unfortunately). Need to book online beforehand but can also turn up (we couldn't navigate the website well and were booked in when we got there by staff)

The underground setting creates a unique and atmospheric experience that really brings the ancient Roman temple to life. The lighting and sound design make the visit feel immersive, helping you imagine what the site may have been like centuries ago. The exhibits explaining the discoveries and Roman history of London are clear and interesting. It’s well organized and easy to explore at your own pace. Overall, it’s a memorable place to visit if you enjoy archaeology, history, and discovering unusual spots in London

Highly recommended this. I suggest you book tickets in advance to ensure you slot, but we were able to walk in on a Saturday. The actual temple ruins has a light and sound experience, and then you are able to walk around and view it from many angles. There is also a number of audio activities available, which I would recommend to get the full experience. Staff were courteous and helpful. Bathrooms were available, and very clean. There are 2 flights of stairs down to the temple, but there seems to be lift accessibility if necessary.

It's a small exhibition that you can squeeze in between your other activities. You can see everything in half an hour. The immersive experience which runs every 20 minutes is a must. It is recommended to book ahead of time, but it doesn't look like a crowded place and you can probably walk in.
