Archaeological excavations are revealing the rich history of Southwark
A team of our archaeologists – working on behalf of MB Bermondsey – recently began excavations in north Southwark. The site is known to have been in use in the Roman period when the River Thames was much wider and the landscape of Southwark featured small islands and water channels. It later sat within the outer garden of Winchester Palace, the medieval London residence of the Bishop of Winchester, which was constructed in the early 12th century.
