Located in Smithfield in the City of London, St. Bartholomew's Hospital is known as Barts, founded in 1123.

One of the 'world's weirdest medical museums'

There's an on-site museum at St. Bartholomew's which shows how medical care has developed throughout the ages. This showcase is described as one of the National Geographic's World's 10 Weirdest Medical Museums.

Famous, the world over

The hospital's chemical laboratory was used in the fictional works of Arthur Conan Doyle's, Sherlock Holmes, and the areas used play such a prominent role in the BBC drama series, that the Tokyo Sherlock Holmes Appreciation Society donated heavily to the Save Barts campaign in the 1990s.
