The Old Operating Theatre Museum
Historic Surgery Museum in a Church Attic
★ 4.6 (Google Maps) | London Bridge, South East London
Step back into the medical past in one of Europe’s oldest surviving operating theatres, tucked inside a church attic near London Bridge. Explore Victorian surgical tools, herbal remedies, and displays on early medicine in this atmospheric and slightly eerie museum.
Tip: The museum is up a narrow 52-step spiral staircase—there’s no lift, so plan accordingly.
