Beneath every London street lies a foot-thick layer of ash and human remains - the calling card of Queen Boudicca, who burned Roman London to the ground in a single night of revenge that you can still see 2,000 years later.
This is London's hidden war for survival: chambers where prisoners carved final words into stone, plague pits that swallowed 100,000 souls in two years, a fire so intense it melted church bells.
From Boudicca's night of flames to Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel terror, discover the archaeological evidence that reveals London's darkest secrets - destruction layers, mass burial sites.
The brutal truth beneath every step you take in London.
