Preserving London’s History
During construction, a series of astonishing Roman finds were unearthed, including the most intact Roman mausoleum ever to be discovered in Britain and stunning Roman mosaics. Rather than moving them, these incredible discoveries are being carefully embedded into the future space of the development, creating a unique community hub where the public can learn about Southwark’s rich history.
Working in Partnership
Places for London has partnered with Landsec on The Liberty of Southwark, a mixed-use development in Bankside, Southwark. This project is a public-private partnership, with Landsec acquiring 100% ownership after paying £54.7 million for the land. The development includes a new net-zero office building, residential units (including affordable housing), workspace, and community spaces incorporating Roman ruins discovered on the site.
