Borough Roman Baths The bath house ruins, which are believed to be one of the biggest Roman finds in London on the south side of the River Thames, were uncovered on the corner of London Bridge Street and Borough High Street. The site was earmarked for the construction of a new office block in 2011. Network Rail commissioned a team of specialist archaeologists from Oxford Archaeology and Pre-Construct Archaeology to excavate the site. The bath house includes a range of rooms, including a cold plunge bath as well as hot rooms warmed by under floor heating. Elsewhere on the site, substantial walls are thought to belong to predecessors of St Thomas’ hospital, which used to stand on the site. Access is currently not available.
