Archaeologists have uncovered a well-preserved section of an ancient Roman road, Wating Street, beneath Old Kent Road in London.

Built after the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43, this discovery provides the first clear evidence of the road’s exact route.

The road, 5.8 meters wide, was constructed with gravel, chalk layers, and compacted sand.

The finding, made during excavations for a low carbon heating project, offers valuable insights into Roman construction techniques and reshapes the Roman road map of Southwark, Fox News has reported.
