Abstract:		 An archaeological Watching Brief and Excavation at the East Wing, Somerset House, Strand, London. A watching brief on the lowering of basement floor levels recorded Saxon and medieval pitting. Later medieval chalk foundations were also recorded within the basement. A sequence of Tudor brick and masonry foundations ran through a number of rooms of the basement and related to the original Tudor Somerset House built in the mid 16th century by Edward Seymour. This Tudor palace was demolished in the late 18th century to make way for the current building. Late 18th century brick drainage culverts were also recorded along with 19th century brick flues relating to underfloor heating, Natural London clay was recorded in one of the basement rooms.
