Discover fascinating, illuminating and sometimes lurid tales of London life preserved in the Wellcome Library. Delve into the seamier side of the capital from a medical perspective and hear tales of dissection, grave robbery and sewage.

This event includes time for you to view documents and archives from the Wellcome Library’s special collections.

Speaker: Dr. Chris Hilton, Senior Archivist, Wellcome Library.
