Great hidden gem of London. One of the lesser visited museums. Worth the entry fee, even though it is small. We were lucky to sit in on a lecture for medical students which was fascinating and the lady who gave the talk was great. Would recommend trying to go when there are talks on. There is a strong smell of herbs in the apothecary part, so just be warned.

Really good value museum with a fascinating talk in the operating theatre by enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended for both medics and everyone else!

Very interesting place to visit, lots to see inside there with plenty of information and specimens. You need to climb a narrow spiral staircase to get in so be aware of that. Friendly staff and it's generally not too busy, definitely worth a visit.

A hidden gem, but not for anyone who isn't find for spiral staircases! I'm not going to spoil much, but it is literally hidden from you. Ask about and you may find it (If you don't, it's a tiny spiral staircase in the left of the entrance to the building). The exhibits are fantastic (I never thought I'd say that about an infected colon!) and give a great insight into surgical history. Great if paired with the Hunterian Museum (it reopens in 2019). Oh yes, and not for the squeamish, but that might be obvious.

Would rate five if I could have found the turtle. Some rather ghoulish insights into medical practices of the past that make you thankful for modern medicine. Not free, but worth the entry to keep this little piece of history alive. Has a restored medical theatre where you can relive what it must have been like to witness the earliest medical science, including amputations without anaesthesia.
