  • Housed in the historic North Wing building

St Bartholomew's Hospital Museum sits within Barts North Wing, in the heart of the City of London, and tells the story of nine centuries of healthcare using objects and stories from the hospital's own archives. The main draw is the recently restored North Wing itself, home to William Hogarth's murals The Pool of Bethesda and The Good Samaritan, alongside the Great Hall's newly revived gilded ceiling. It suits anyone with an interest in history, art or medicine, and makes an easy stop given it's just 0.2 miles from City Thameslink station. With 781 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it fits neatly into a wider City of London visit, though those wanting a seaside outing would need to head 3.1 miles to The Serpentine.
