From Homeopaths to Psychopaths


Tickets are FREE but must be booked in advance.

Fully booked

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.

With Max Decharne, author.

Please note that this walk starts at Sloane Square tube station and ends at South Kensington tube station.

This is an adapted version of a walk published in 'Medical London: City of diseases, city of cures'. For more on the book, visit the Medical London website.
