Guided Walk, Wed 23 October: Who Needs Doctors Anyway?
- Date: Wednesday 23 October 2024, 12.00am
A guided walk with Charlie Forman, 11.00-1.00pm
London's population tripled between 1800 and 1860. There was no precedent for managing the public health demands of the explosion, which led to diseases from cholera to typhus, festering sewage, unburied bodies, sulphurous smogs and food unfit for human consumption. On our walk from the Royal College of Physicians we will meet inspirational individuals like John Snow and the enlightened vestries who joined the struggle against disease.
£16 per person. Friends and family welcome. Please book and pay by Monday 2 October.
