Description
Behind the Georgian facades and leafy mews of London’s most exclusive postcode have lurked artistic excess, disease, mania and some of the richest doctors in Britain. Discover the light and dark sides of the Royal Borough, from Hans Sloane’s elegant Physic Garden and the beginning of alternative medicine to the decadent, diseased pre-Raphaelites and the gruesome triumphs of forensic pathology.
