It's a thoughtful choice for anyone curious about medicine, art and history, and the step-free building with BSL and audio description support makes it accessible to a wide range of visitors. It sits in London's Museums & Galleries scene, just 0.2 miles from London Euston station, with the Serpentine in Hyde Park 2.1 miles away and 666 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you're planning an overnight visit.
