Guided walk

Until the mid-20th century London was one of the world's largest ports. Trade with other nations and the Empire brought fabulous wealth, intoxicating power and new medicines, but ships also returned with less welcome discoveries such as cholera and typhoid. Walk in the footsteps of naval surgeons, merchants, sailors and astronomers as you trace the relationship between medicine and the powerful British impulse to trade and conquer.
