There is a new resident at in the City of London. A sculpture of an eagle clutching a wriggling snake has been found at the Minories and was originally placed over a Roman tomb. It is dated from the 1st to the 2nd Century AD, but when you see it in person it is hard to believe, it looks as though it was carved yesterday. The Eagle will be at the Museum of London for six months, and I really recommend visiting, it's such a beautiful object.
The Eagle can be seen at the beginning of the Roman gallery at the museum of London : http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/london-wall/whats-on/galleries/roman-london/
