Guided walk

Today we see healthcare as a basic human right, but this is a surprisingly recent idea. For centuries, diagnoses and cures have been bought and sold in London's medical marketplace. Join us as we uncover the secrets of 'Doctoropolis' - a place where leading surgeons rubbed shoulders with the 'King of the Quacks'.
