Abstract:		 A total of four trial pits were excavated prior to proposed Open Up Works along the Bow Street frontage of the Royal Opera House, City of Westminster. Three of these were to investigate structural elements or extant services, and fourth extended into an evaluation trench. An additional two window samples were also excavated. These investigations identified natural London Clay overlain by gravels and brickearth. The latter had been truncated by a number of features relating to the 18th century development of the site, corresponding to a former line of terraced properties. These features were overlain by 19th century demolition rubble and masonry believed to represent modifications to the Royal Opera House. All excavation areas were subsequently overlain by variable depths of modern made ground.
