The Old Operating Theatre Museum

I loved my time in this museum. If you’re fascinated by Victorian era medical practices (think bloodletting, apothecaries, surgery with no anesthesia) this is absolutely the place for you. The space is small but it is crammed full of interesting objects and information. The highlight of this visit is of course in the name - the operating theatre. Well worth the visit!

What a lovely experience from start to finish! The staff are a gem! With such enthusiasm & knowledge! Reading through history, along with the displays, is fantastic and has been displayed to really capture the imagination The muesum is well worth the visit! You can pay with cash or card & their is a little gift shop! The narrow stairs may be a problem for some people

This was a great little museum. I loved seeing the apothecary items and old instruments. The tour guide Collin was amazing. He gave interesting details and was happy to answer questions

A fascinating place at the top of a narrow spiral staircase. We had an interesting talk in the operating theatre and then had time to wander around the herb garret museum, which although smallish, was packed full of medical history! The only (minor) downside was not having long enough in the actual museum as there was so much to look at and read.

Fabulous hidden little museum, easy to walk right pass it, not knowing its even there, the entrance is via a very narrow spiral staircase, once you reached the top, see how surgical operations were carried out over the centuries with the history of medicine and herbs and see the oldest original 19th-century operating theatre. Located just around the corner from London Bridge station. Open Four days a week 10:30 - 17:00 Thursday to Sunday. You can buy entrance tickets on site or on-line.
