LONDON is home to some of the most popular tourist attractions in the country, as well as some of the strangest.<\/p>\n

London Mithraeum is located right underneath an office space in the heart of the English capital. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The museum is an ancient Roman Temple used by the Cult of Mithras – a mystery religion that was worshipped by Roman soldiers.<\/p>\n

The ancient site was discovered in 1954 following a planned excavation, although is estimated to be nearly 1,800 years old.<\/p>\n

During the dig, the marble head of a statue of Mithras was uncovered underneath the London rubble. <\/p>\n

An extension of the dig was conducted, with further parts of the temple discovered. <\/p>\n

In 2010 Bloomberg began constructing its new London headquarters, intending to return the ancient site to its former glory. <\/p>\n

A statement on the Bloomberg website read: "The Bloomberg Arcade that will reinstate an ancient Roman travel route, and an anticipated cultural hub that will restore the Temple of Mithras to its original site."<\/p>\n

Not only does the site house more than 600 Roman artefacts, it's also free to enter. <\/p>\n

Even though the site is fairly small, the museum has received positive reviews on TripAdvisor. <\/p>\n

One person wrote: "If you're in London, and in this area, then it is definitely worth a visit. <\/p>\n

The museum is free of charge and fascinating. <\/p>\n

Another said: "A fantastic exhibition of an early Roman temple, with a very atmospheric presentation in the basement." <\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: "A nice<\/span>, small, museum with a preserved temple.<\/p>\n

"It's a cool 'experience' but it takes very little time to walk around, so not worth visiting just for the museum."<\/p>\n

The ancient site is open five days a week between Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am to 6pm. <\/p>\n

London Mithraeum is just a short walk from tube stations like Mansion House and Cannon Street. <\/p>\n

Plenty of people have probably walked past the house at 4 Princelet Street, in\u00a0London's Spitalfields, without batting an eyelid.<\/p>\n

However, the abandoned Georgian home is growing in popularity among visitors, who are drawn to its faded red door and window shutters with star shapes cut into them.<\/p>\n
