Our programme of public walks for 2020 is currently on hold

Due to the present Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, we have delayed the publication of our schedule of public events for 2020. This will be available as soon as the present situation becomes clearer. 

Scroll down to see the range of tours we offered in 2019 

We hope you will be able to join us later in the year to embark upon a voyage of medical discovery!

Public scheduled tours normally run most Fridays from mid-May through to October starting at 2pm at the Royal College of Physicians on The Regent’s Park, or another major medical institution. A number of brand new walks feature for the first time this year!

All public tours cost £12.50 per person (apart from study days which are clearly marked)  you can book online free of charge by:

• Visiting the home page for your chosen walk or tour.
• Selecting a tour from the list below and clicking on the link.
• Choosing a date using the Book Our Public Walks Online facility via the Eventbrite calendar in the sidebar on the right of this, and every, page.

A very limited number of tickets are available on the day, if you would like to take up one of these places (subject to availability) please pay the guide directly in cash. No places are available on the day for tours marked as SOLD OUT. 

When arriving look out for the signs for our tours at the entrance to the Royal College of Physicians. Details of where to meet for tours not commencing at the Royal College of Physicians are shown on your ticket. 

For more details on the content of each of our walks please return to our Homepage, visit Our Walks and Tours page or simply click on the title of the tour where that is highlighted to be taken to the event homepage.

All our walks are available throughout the week and all round the year as private tours, or part of a bespoke event. If you would like to arrange private tour or event at any time, simply email us at discovermedicallondon@gmail.com
