About the project
Firing London’s Imagination is a three-year project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to restore the 1st Century CE Romano-British kiln first discovered in 1968 to Highgate Wood in its own, dedicated visitor centre. The project also aims to engage local London communities in discovering and exploring the rich Roman heritage of the city.
