Description
Walk the streets of London’s medical quarter and discover hidden medical histories
For the last two-and-a-half centuries the elegant terraces and squares of Holborn, Bloomsbury and St Pancras have played host to the grandeur of the Royal College of Surgeons, hospitals for sick children and poor immigrants, and the homes of figures such as Charles Darwin and Virginia Woolf. This two-hour walk reveals the hidden history of London’s medical quarter.
