Our Calendar

Our programme of public walks remains suspended indefinitely. We are continuing to offer pre-booked private tours for groups of any size. 

Unfortunately, our schedule of in-person public events remains suspended indefinitely. We hope to return to offering open access public tours in the future. Details of the programme will be published here as and when they are available. 

For further information or to make a group booking for a private tour please contact us at  discovermedicallondon@gmail.com
