Tower Bridge Hotel Transfer: Rob’s 'Medical Madness' Walking Tour with Black Cab Transportation

Traverse the London streets of Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury in search of those places and people who have made our capital city a nest of disease and contamination, but also a metropolis of healing and good health, starting directly from Tower Bridge Upper Mooring with a 'meet and greet' from a qualified London taxi driver and guide.

Our start point for this fascinating walking tour is St. Andrew’s Place near the medicinal garden of the famous Royal College of Physicians, and after the walking tour your cab will take you directly to your hotel, allowing you to relax and enjoy the rest of your time in London.

• The hangouts of healers and hoaxers around one of our best known medical streets, those characters who made medical history in London for the greater worldwide good, or dangerously for deception and even death with their ‘quackery’ and queasy cures.

• A ‘tongue in cheek’ look at the royals and high ranking government ministers, and whether they were fit to rule us, either physically, mentally or morally - and whether they were well enough to take charge of our nation at all!

• The real reason for those expressions ‘dutch courage’, ‘one for the road’ and ‘on the wagon’, and medicine's long and complex relationship between getting a patient back on their feet and boozing!

• Medicine and sexuality, and undress the often unsavoury tales of the relationship between the medical profession and sex and sexology, as we take a walk on the wide side to uncover the innovation from practitioners who would liberate people from centuries of intolerance.

• Medicine at the Movies! It’s lights, scalpel, action as we check out our obsession with the silver screen and tragic, comic, romance, scandal and intrigue in fiction.

Our tour end point is the Welcome Collection in Euston Road, where I shall introduce you to the museum highlights and any exhibitionsnthat are on at the time. This space has an excellent cafe, as well as restrooms.
