My ancestor ran a pub near there in Bulls Head Passage, now the Glass Hut. that has a cellar too. (also the Leaky Cauldron in Harry Potter) I live in the Sussex countryside, but all my roots in London. Archaeologists are currently uncovering the romans in a field near to where I live, too. Maybe my Sussex Romans would come up to the London basilica.

Yes, well, a few years back, the NW corner of that block was being excavated ( Corner of Leadenhall/Gracechurch streets ) and they found … the remains of a Roman meat-market.
And, when Leadenhall was rebuilt in the late 1800’s it was … a meat-market.
