The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret Review

Despite its name, Theatre, the venue is very much like a theatre. In fact, its predecessor is a veritable operating room. In the nineteenth century, it was used as a teaching and observation room for surgery in St. Thomas Hospital. At that time, horror operations such as amputation were performed in the environment of poor medical equipment and no effective anesthesia. Staff will perform in theatres to usher you into that horrible medical age.

The theatre is situated near London Bridge Metro Station, opposite the town market. It's interesting to enter the museum. A spiral staircase with 52 narrow steps is full of exhibits and lace news about Victorian and Edwardian medicine. It used to be an operating room. Now it's a theatre.

Far away from the city, there are not many tourists, relatively quiet and comfortable.

Medical museums are a bit hard to find. On the top floor of a building, we have a better understanding of 19th century medicine and surgery. The museum shows a Victorian demonstration of how to operate without basic hygiene such as anesthesia.

There are many good exhibitions and good visits, but the atmosphere here is not very personal.
