London Medical Heritage Walking Tour

The website City Stories publishes walks which tell you important stories about the city you are in. If you’re in London or planning a visit, you’ll be happy to know that their first walk is Medical London, and has been produced in collaboration with the Wellcome Collection. It is a tour of Bloomsbury and the surrounding area, covering some important parts of London’s medical heritage. It accompanies the Medical London: City of Diseases, City of Cures book. The walk covers three miles and takes about two hours to complete. An iPhone app has been developed which gives you the full audiovisual experience, with a map showing all steps, video, audio, pictures and written information. The text was written by the historian Richard Barnett and the walk is narrated by Dilly Barlow. The app is available for free from the app store. Alternatively the walk is also available for download as MP3, as a PDF booklet or for view on the website.
