In a rare instance of such a pairing, visitors to London can descend beneath the city’s financial centre to discover the ancient Roman temple of Mithras, found below the current site of Bloomberg’s European headquarters.

The Royal Academy of Arts’ legendary summer exhibition is underway in London. From big name artists, like Tracey Emin, to new and emerging talent, more than 1,700 works are on display across 13 gallery spaces. The Royal Academy selects renowned artists like Emin as Royal Academicians, granting them membership in the historic institution.
