Archaeologists have discovered that the huge Roman mosaics discovered near the Shard last year, were actually part of a Roman tomb.

This rare piece of history was discovered just a stone’s throw from Borough Market and London Bridge station, said the Museum of London Archeology (MOLA).

The remains of the structure at the Liberty of Southwark site have an ‘astonishing level of preservation’, making it the most intact Roman mausoleum ever to be discovered in Britain, according to MOLA.
