We had a fantastic visit to the Charterhouse on Saturday. It is not only stunning and has a really interesting history, it also feels like an island of peace in Central London.

A great room with Tudor style ceiling, wooden floors and paintings hanging on green walls.

A Tudor ceiling decorated with gold. A crest is visible in the middle and four red lions on the side.

The picture shows a cloister mostly made of red bricks, the floor is made of stone. There are windows on the left and a row of lights on the right hand wall.

The picture shows a courtyard; a well maintained lawn at the front with a Tudor building behind it.

Hello Bluesky! We are a quarterly magazine publishing the latest on #London’s #archaeology, history and heritage. ⚱️

You can subscribe here: www.londonarchaeologist.org.uk/subscribe.html

The front cover of the Spring 2024 edition of London Archaeologist magazine. Headlines are: Excavations at Stationers' Hall, Ave Maria Lane, EC4; The Curtain Road Gasworks at Principal Place, EC2; Monkey Skull from East Road, Hackney; Legion: New British Museum Exhibition; Roman Funerary Bed from Holborn; Remembering Brian Hobley.

The cover image is of a ceramic Roman oil lamp, being cupped in a pair of hands wearing blue latex gloves. The centre of lamp depicts a Gladiator falling backwards, wearing a crested helmet with his left arm raised up to his face and brandishing a sword in his right hand. The hole for filling the lamp fits into the angle of his bent right knee and there is a small air hole in the nozzle channel along with a larger hole to take a burning wick.
