The Old Operating Theatre

Again, potentially a slightly strange recommendation, but I did describe this blog as unusual things to do in London as well.

In the roof of a church in London Bridge, you'll find the oldest operating theatre in Europe. You climb narrow stairs through the church to enter the roof, which houses the operating theatre and old medical equipment or medicines.

It is a completely fascinating place, though some of the medical instruments are likely to give you a few nightmares. They hold a lot of events, including 19th century operation demonstrations.
