First look at rediscovered London Roman temple

    Built in the third century, the London Mithraeum was discovered by chance in 1954 on World War II bomb site

    It became an instant public sensation, with up to 30,000 visitors per day queuing to see it

    It was reassembled 100m from its original location so the public could see it when post-war rebuilding ended

    The ruin has now been restored to its original location below below Bloomberg's new European headquarters

    Sound, lights and misty haze have been used to evoke the rituals and activities that took place within its walls
