Extensive excavations at Regis House revealed evidence for pre-Boudican waterfront activity next to the Roman London bridge, followed in AD 63–4 by the construction of a massive timber quay, warehouse and other buildings, greatly altered and extended over the course of the 1st century. These in turn were destroyed in the AD 120s by the Hadrianic Fire, leading to the dumping of a thick layer of fire debris to allow the construction of large masonry buildings which remained in use until the end of the period.
