Guided tours worth booking: walks led by people who know the streets, and the bus, river and cycling tours that earn their fare. Each is drawn on the map as the ground it covers, from where it meets.
The Bloomsbury streets where the first vaccination, the first anaesthetic and the first antiseptic happened.
Every Thursday, 14:30Walking
Bloomsbury holds more medical history per acre than anywhere in Britain: the hospitals, the schools, the laboratories and the houses where the people who worked it out lived. The walk is on the trail of the firsts - vaccination, anaesthesia, antisepsis, antibiotics - standing in the streets where each happened rather than describing them from somewhere else.
Adult £20, students and seniors £15, children £5
