During excavations along Old Kent Road in London, archaeologists found a Roman road


Wating Street was built closely following the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43, according to a Wednesday press release from the London Borough of Southwark.

Prior to this discovery, there was very little evidence to support the exact route of the ancient Roman road.

"The discovery of an intact section of Roman Wating Street directly under the current Old Kent Road has redrawn the Roman road map for Southwark and informs on Roman construction techniques generally.
