Medical London
I should perhaps title this, Posh Medical London. The walk was around Harley Street which is the really exclusive place to go for medical treatment. Not a NHS clinic or Doctor's surgery in sight. It costs several hundred pounds for a 15 minute consulation. It's the place to get Botox apparently!! It's been the exclusive medical community since Victorian times.
The former clinic of Dr. Morell Mackenzie- he treated Queen Victoria's son-in law, Fritz. Unfortunately he misdiagnosed him and Fritz died a few months later.
Queen's College- the first secondary school for girls, it opened in 1848, though initially just trained them as governesses
Nothing to do with medicine- this was the home of Elizabeth Barrett Browning before she got married.
A former hospital for gentlewomen, Florence Nightengale had her first job here
The home of Churchill's doctor, it was bombed during the war
The former office of the speech therapist who treated George VI- the father of the current Queen
Prince's Crescent- the start of Harley Street
