| | Royal London Hospital Museum and Archives, London E1: tourist information from TourUK |
 | | Housed in the former crypt of a fine 19th century church, which is now a medical library, this small museum charts the development and role of the Royal London Hospital. |
 | | With sections on the 18th, 19th and 20th century, as well as the history of the hospital, the museum has material on surgery before antisepsis, Florence Nightingale, and Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. In the late 1880s this unfortunate figure was a patient, and then an exhibit, at the hospital. |
 | | There are special areas on hospital uniform, forensic medicine, including material on the famous Jack the Ripper murders and dentistry. |
